If you're good with a welder go MK1 rear light conversions! would look seriously nice with the style you want, plenty of carbon fibre, really stealth like.

yeah it would look nice, but its still all quite new for me so this will make things more dificult Of course, i will try doing some of these things i think about (and maybe this one), but i am still learning

Yeah I also haven't got a clue but I'm getting some rear lights for Christmas and my Dads friend is handy with a welder so that is sorted, then I think Dad is buying one and we can start getting some practice in for when I do my flip front, all the panels behind are going to be shot to hell so they need replacing.

Check my project page out mate .

Did you use an engine crane to get the engine/front subby off? You made it look surprisingly easy.

no mate. Just removed everything around the engine, so the engine is only connected on the subframe and not on the car. Then we lifted the shell up with our hands, and the subframe (with wheels and engine on) stays there. We moved it, and put the shell down again. Its easier than i thought it would be. To be honest i didnty have a clue how to take off the engine at the beggining. Just started removing parts so i could figure out how..

Now i just move the engine where ever i want with the mini wheels and its MUCH easier

[Marky Tizz]

Excellent work, doesn't help me though 'because I want to change the actual subframe at some points Lol.

[JackM]

update..

the engine is now painted and polished. removed the subframe to clean and paint it aswell




painted these too..







now i have to finish the subframe and then i may put the engine back on the car first, or fit the spax kit.
lot of work to do for christmas
