What do you think of all this now? I could possibly buy a car for cheaper than i can recon my 1200!!!

Is that all in us$ and when you say balance crank is that just the crank or the rods pistons flywheel presure plate and front pully because thats what it should consist of. Cheers

all prices in US.... & as i understood it, the cank grind will be to balance the lightened flywheel .

1000Coupe Please explain: good progress there, make sure u use rust converter and fish oil or similar on the back of the panelsover a wider area than the plates u have put in,

The "oil" part please; is this some panel beating magic. I'm feeling quite dump here, as far as my knowledge stretch, oil on the surface of parts that needs a spray job is bad.

Its not for the side you going to spray it for the back of the panel. Or thats how I understand it

Ok, I was really pissed off with the panel beater coz he was meant to have test sprayed an area & waited for my go ahead to spray the whole car. I think his partner was getting impatient coz my car has been there a while now.

Ive attached some #OOPS#ty pics that i took with my phone:
there wer a couple of things that i still wanted done like blanking the hole where an alarm switch was fitted on the passenger door, etc....

what you guys think of it?

Looks really nice mate, nice front spoiler too. Is it for a 1200 or something else fitted up?

i think its for 1200... from how it fits there was no mods needed.
