Post by Efratech »

the quick story is... that i dont want the 4 door anymore... i can fix it, but honestly theres always something new with it... so lets see if my luck changes with the lemans.

im putting all the bits of the racer on this chassis (engine, suspension, wiring, brakes, etc)

ill put the daewoo badges on it so dont worry ;)

it needs care but with some time it will change a lot.

I can't wait to see it finished, I'm sad to see the racer be phased out, but really the Lemans should be awesome :D
a woo that is a work in progress

what Auda said... yes its cracked and it bent a bit.

ive been thinking about using the original mani.

the car is almost complete, tomorrow i might be able to tow it again to the perfomance shop to sort the manifold.

the guy is finishing swaping the wiring to the lemans.

i still need bits like the radiator fan, a couple of hoses, etc.

i dont know if the racer is more good looking but ive always liked the 2 doors

the idea is to make it something like this: (its a friends car from the UK)

im sorting the euro spec bumpers soon. (the ones on the pic above)
