wires?

hydraulics are

i've looked at other mx's of the same age and haven't seen 1 that doesn't have the same type of rusting on the sills. not much to worry about but better to treat it. i still cant believe it's 12 years old lol

here's a little bit cleaned up and painted

this is part of what i'm facing :shock: http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/2144000-2144999/2144443_38_full.jpg http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/2144000-2144999/2144443_39_full.jpg the good news is that most of it is surface rust and i caught it at a stage i can treat ...

i like it the only mx3 in the uk

similar to what i want but i think i'm going to go with some buckets in the front if you don't mind me asking how much?

our bumpers are a bit different to the us one's i think

i'm preping the car to put the engine back in painting and rust preparation and found that rust is killing my car

already found 2 area's i got to weld.

how much work re: rust have you guys had to do or is it not really a problem over the pond?

yeah i had a de-cat pipe on mine and got pulled by the police all the time, so i put the cat back on still sounds loud but alot less trouble and less messing when it's mot time

i just got my lambo kit through what a nightmare it's going to be fitting them + they are heavy as hell!!! not something i'd recommend if your wanting best times up the strip it's like having another person on board.

btw i haven't fitted them yet going to get my engine in first

sometimes the engine number is on the vin plate > doubt it would have a transplant in there. You may even find it on the log book. just 2 easy places i would start with + they should be able to do it off the chassis number so take that 2. as for the engine number try search on here one of the other ...

definately decided to do the swap after the kit's on, thanks for that tommy.

after looking at this thread a couple of times and seeing the pics the hoods actually a grower does look kinda cool

oh i really want a ze

i've done it on my mx cept i was outside of the car. hurt like hell and my finger swelled

not too sure on the bonnet vents but the rest of the car is sweeeeeettt! i suppose they'll get mucho needed cold air in there :wink: seriously i know lots have ze's over the pond... but how quick do you find your ze on the uk roads? not that i condone street racing but pick up in comparison to other...

i think the allen key is 5. I did mine today > really helped getting them off while the engine was out
