So this is what we have started with

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


First thing we did was rip the engine that had 195000kms on it out
We then took our second engine with around 70000kms on it and painted it up and made it all pretty :D

Image

We then began the painful process of putting it all back together

Image

Added some pretty breaded hosing covers

Image

Painted the fans and shrouds to match the engine bay just for that extra little touch

Image

Put the original bonnet back on
Used a head light repair kit

Image

Got rid of the crap chromeys

Image

Changed all the dash lights to pink LEDs the pictures don't show it very well though the pics make it look blue

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I then customized a stock rear bar to fit on with the twin tips

Image

Image

Fitted a lambo door hinge kit

Image

Image

Image

Then got it retinted

Image

Image

Fitted new center console from dstocks
And now i am just waiting for dstocks front bar to get here
I have got new lights for the bar waiting for it

Clear indicators
Image

And fog lights

They are $2500 a guy from the forum makes them and it's pretty much a bolt on kit just a couple of holes need drilling if you want it to be sturdier

I should think you would need one, something to do with how wide the door opens before it goes up.

You may want to look into it lol worth checking at least

How are they by the way? They look great 8)

They work awesome the only downside is when it's cold the gas struts will only hold the door about half way up the guy said it was really hard to get the correct pressure struts made because if they are too strong it made it hard to shut the door properly but if it was too little it wouldn't hold the door but they open far enough before going up that you can still squeeze out without lifting them they open about the distance they you would open your door in a tightcar park

lol and he charged you $2500 for gas struts that dont work properly?

Think of all the other things you could of bought like a front bar and a new set of rims and tyres
