Hi Dub.
Nice work there mate. You seem to have put a lot of efort in.
I have had enough of gearboxes for a while after doing the five speed conversion on the mk1.
Cheers Mark.

nice one! thinking of doing this soon (ish) so this maybe helpful going back to the exploded midbox, there was a 240 that came into the garage i used to work at, exactly the same had happened, petrol fumes had biult up inside and booooooom!

I did this not long ago too, the kit really is spot on!

You were much better prepared than me, i had no torque wrench or filler plug remover tool lol. managed fine though and it hasn't leaked yet!

A small update!

I swapped both my ghey grey bumpers for MCHUDDS 91 LE 340's black with red pinstripe bumpers.





I took off the rear ghey grey bumper with attached towbar, and realised it weigh's absolutely load's so it's not going to be put back on...EVER (cant believe i drove around with all that weight for so long). I did'nt get any pic's of dismantling the towbar / rear bumper which is regrettable as many have asked on the forum how to remove rear bumper's, but anyway this is it off the car!.



really weigh's an incredible amount this tow bar so i am anticipating better fuel consumption and less weight over the back wheel's which can only be good.
And this is the new look for Astral, the darker bumper's and red pinstripe seem to compliment the red paintwork better, i think these style bumper's were fitted to later 90, 91, 340's, and/or redline 340's although i could be wrong on that score!.













I think it is a small improvement over the grey one's that were on it, any member's opinion's, comment's are welcome as alway's. Thank's V3M 'er's

Dude, that looks so right.
Good call. Really good call.

Theres not many cars that look good at standard height, but red ones seem to carry it off. Yours and Evomans spring to mind.

Kepp it oot of the way of the troubles dude!

[Evoman]
