    Hey all so ive decided to start my build thread dont expect to much the build is going extremley slow lol

    the car started off as a poo brown vk calais 202 efi where the previous owner had sprayed it black

    since owning the car i have installed a 185i motor and manual from a vr club sport smoothed all the bay relocated the fuse box and batery, hidden wireing on the motor and relocated a few other bits and pieces, made a vt booster and mast cyld conversion, installed vt front brakes atm untill i change them to 330mm down the track make my own 3″ exaust, re painted all the suspention and k frame and diff a new fresh black. up graded sway bars insalled new 5″ tac water temp air fuel guage to be mounted under the bonnet scoop installed an alarm. installed 7×10 and 6″ speakers in the rear shelf. push button starter thats all i can think of atm its gettin late after a long day so here are some pics i do have a lot but most are shitty old nokia quality lol

     

     

    and some of the works atm

    since then the motor is all wired up all working but still a mess

     

    baught a powerdyne charger kit and intercooler setup for it as well but needs a lot of mods to make it fit as the guy i baught it off said it fitted his car fine but there is no chance it fit nothing at all comes close to lining up so ill need to mod every part but that can wait need to get the car done and back on the road then worry about boost for it

    so i need to get a crack on it again been a damn damn damn long time since i have even touched it been to busy with the new house n other shit going on so hopfuly soon ill get a kick start soon

     

    so enjoy guys n girls
