**this is Sundeep btw lol, forgot to login (again)**
Finally it's almost on the road. I picked it up just before from the RW joint The stuff I've done to it since I got, just to get a RW, is way more than I thought it would be. I've done: -Front discs and pads -Rear discs and pads -Rear lower control arm bushes -New radiator -New thermostat and housing gasket -New exhaust (2.5" with 1 muffler) -Tight 3.27LSD with good tailshaft -Re-wired/setup thermofans -Removed tint -Lower front control arms -Sway bar link and D bushes up front -K-Frame caster rod bushes -Adj. h/brake -New clear overflow bottle Big thanks to Douglas and Gill for all their help as well with doing all that stuff with me. It's needed a lot more work than I thought it would and it's put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know whether to keep it now or sell it while I'm ahead and get a stocker which I intended to do in the first place. Any ideas what I could get for it with a RW as is? If it doesn't sell within a week and half or so I'll just keep it and do the stuff I intended to to it. Which is the gas conversion, get some original wheels for it and make the paint all schmicko.

keep it, don't think you'd be able to get that much for it.

Keep it. I doubt you'd get much for it in it's current state.

I guess I'll be keeping it then :P I wasn't' looking for much... mid $3kish which is pretty good for what's done to it. Would suit someone who's looking to beef up their own car with some sick parts.
I gave it a good hammering yesterday for the first time, if I floor it off the line on a smooth road it cuts sideways! It's sick. Would go mad with a Unichip.. I'm looking in to getting a set of EB Ghia standard wheels, I have some lined up but I'm sort of in two minds about them. I was thinking maybe turbo blades would look better, polished ones or something. Does anyone have a set of turbo blades with half decent tyres they want to get rid of for cheap?  Sundeep |

Should look mint dumped on turbo blades with decent paint and everything. I'm just after a clean AS stock car look. I don't want any attention in it at all.
EF stockies.... pfft. If I sell the 4 I've got I'll have enough cash to buy me some polishing. Sooo, noone has a set of turbo blades? Sundeep |
