Beautiful car! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif I'm Jealous. Next time I go to PI I'm going to scavange for AMG VR4 parts and ship em back here.

thanks unistylef.
unfortunately amg parts are very hard to find here
vr4 parts on the other hand are not too scarce but quite expensive.
a lot of us here get parts from there for LHD specific parts.

sun finally showed up,too bad i dont feel too good.
mocked up the fiberglass rs bumper lip on a friends bumper

Not much progress,just painted a few brackets and cleaned some stuff.
I did get a visit from my vr4s fwd n/a twin tonight

 

[kama1]

Finished painting the tranny and misc parts,brackets and whatnots for the car.(pics to follow)
Installed my new back seats
New old box of rear quarter glass shades(this pair for the vr4)


Installed on the blue amg

Now since i can no longer find my 2 pistons i guess i on the hunt for replacements next year.
Anyone with experience on evo8/9 pistons on 1g rods?i really need inputs here as they seem to be the cheapest option i have.
Used Turbo pistons here are priced like they wont sell.
Have no problem machining rods and i have 2 other sets of rods i can sacrifice.
