Latest pics of the almera rebuild

Yeah I've been told wings are fine. Gonna take the rad, bumper, bonnet, slam panel top, bonnet catch and lights off my red one tomorrow and head down there to fix it up temporarily.

Dude..........you been buying a car..?????.....

Little progress report on my own GTi project... have managed to strip most of the engine loom out in preperation for the swap, although didnt have any axle stands so accessing the area behind the throttle body was hard (The cuts on my hands are a sign of this!). Me and Ian (RaceworX) emptied all the crap out of the shell too so I can start on rust repairs/prevention.

Work still to be done includes:
Swapping the remainder of the engine loom from the red GTi to the black one, including ignition barrel and ECU
Fitting the throttle body, 2.5\" manifold and downpipe (Which I still need to collect), and bolting the 2.25\" stainless cat back system and backbox on, and swapping the front brakes over. Gotta see if it starts too

Then its onto things like heaters, dashboard, door electrics, ABS wiring, rear number plate, all things that can be done once the car is running.

Then finishing the bodywork (Spraying front bumper etc)

Gah... always check what you're sorting through hasnt moved before you shut the boot...

£60 later...

Although it is squeaky clean window licking good now

Ouch........

gutted bout the rear window dude

but that is askin to have either fail or owned plastered all over it

sorry
