I like it quite...
I'm surprised, looks great :) Lots of work to make it 100% by the look of it.....

A "half cut" is when you literally get EVERYTHING in front of the windscreen/firewall of the car.... they literally cut it off a donor car that's been written off or imported for cheap...... so you get front suspension, etc, etc, etc computer, etc, etc (if you ask)......
Usually the best way to do an engine conversion as you'll have 99% of everything you will need!

hey menghead

cars looking sick....


when i first figured out what front bar you would be buying, I personally thought it looked like shit (to put it bluntly).

But the kit as a whole, looks really really hot. Suits the lines of the car well! Great choice and props to proving me wrong 8)

Ohh yeah, needs a fmic badly. Make sure you plumb it up to something big though :lol:

ha... finally got here :lol:

anyway, thought i'd do a quick update on Tom's GSi.
1. the car has "moved" inside the workshop since Tom's last visit. :lol:
2. modified the rear bar for future exhaust mod :D
3. made necessary brackets for the kit today, mainly for the side skirts.
4. trimmed the guards to give that "proper" widebody look, it will allow Tom to get wider wheels.
5. the kit fit quite well, but i will have to spend some time to make it smooth and ready for painting. (abit of uneven surfaces and some pin holes)
6. other "custom works" should be done early next week, then hit the spray booth :wink:

here are a couple of before/WIP pix...
