Shenal's worklog
So this is what we have started with
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
We then began the painful process of putting it all back together
Added some pretty breaded hosing covers
Painted the fans and shrouds to match the engine bay just for that extra little touch
Put the original bonnet back on
Used a head light repair kit
Got rid of the crap chromeys
Changed all the dash lights to pink LEDs the pictures don't show it very well though the pics make it look blue
I then customized a stock rear bar to fit on with the twin tips
Fitted a lambo door hinge kit
Then got it retinted
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
And fog lights

Re: Shenal's worklog
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

Re: Shenal's worklog
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

Re: Shenal's worklog
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
