Ben vs Mk3. Round 2.

[HaydEn]

It's happening! Good luck with it mate.

[Ben J]

Cheers. Going to learn a lot I'm sure, plan on pulling the engine and maybe even gearbox apart while its out and replacing gaskets, seals, chains and anything else that could fail, while also building it up a little Should be a beast when its ready, and with everything known to fail replaced should hopefully stay trouble free for a fair while.

Looks great man, good luck with it all!

Nice! Are those BBS rims still going on? Should just keep it high up and with stock rims with the VR6 engine in for a bit just so the VR commodore drivers are like WTF why did this guy beat me?

[Ben J]

The RS's will be going on, not for a while though. Need to dump some money on them to get them how I want, and suspension and engine stuff shall be bought first I think (well I've almost payed for the suspension I have coming, and it will be far from high I can tell you that )

Engine swap is looking to be a fair distance away too. Have a lot I want to do before then. Working 8-5 monday to friday and spending the majority of the spare time doing social things, I barely get any time for the car. I still sneak some in here and there

This is sounding promising mate, always love a 3 dr conversion!

Put this in last night, very rare eibach flat strut brace. People in the states go nuts for these things! Could do with a good sanding and polishing, one day im not feeling lazy I might do it. Still until then, its better it sits in the car instead of on the desk, like it has been for months


Wasn't expecting much of a change from it if anything, but the car does feel different. Sort of tighter I suppose. Hard to explain. Not a massive change though, still, more then I was expecting.

Very cool, I have been looking at strut braces, I looked at an adjustable one which was pretty expensive and being O/S the shipping was equal to the product cost. That one looks beefy, you could get it powdercoated or something.

[Ben J]

Ill just polish it up to a mirror shine. It's in good shape, just a little dull. I've seen mint examples of this bar go for over like 400 on the vortex.
