Swap it..... Lol great looking car hope to see you at some events this year!
what you think about adding a front lip to the HFP front bumper? I haven't seen that yet
is that the Volvo lip or home depot?
No plans to swap anytime soon, just bolt-ons and a 6spd hopefully with LSD, but even that wont be for a while.
Thanks, yeah its a volvo lip. I think I saw someone do a thin garage door lip on an HFP bumper and it was EH... I think the HFP is fine as-is.
yay, grad you decided to make another one despite rosing the ord one that you spent so much time on!
First update to the new thread :)
So I worked on the EP all day friday doing some spring cleaning and painting my valve cover. She got 2 coats of wax over the winter and was due for another so I washed, clay barred, and waxed her as well as the usual engine bay, interior and wheel detail.
I did the valve cover in a dark gunmetal color and decided not o clear because I liked how the satin finish looked natural. I also added a tension spring for the dip stick since the K series builds some crankcase pressure under racing conditions.
Replaced the spring nut for the gas door...
Cleaned compounded and waxed behind the hatch trim piece...
So simple and clean! I love it!
Man I wanna go out and clean my car right now
Every time I see your thread I want to clean my car. That VC looks GREAT!!!!!!
Keep up the good work.
In for the 2nd build thread.Lovin the new VC as well.
glad you decided to revive the thread. love your build thread and attention to detail.
