|
|
Thought you guys might like to see my latest little project. Steve Lilly in Essex who has had his lovely 1.7 ie 33 for about 6 months missed the grunt of his previous 16v, so asked if i could supply & fit all the relevant bits to fully convert his car in to a 16v model. I'm cracking on with the job..........
Steve's ie in standard form.
After changing bumpers, mirrors, side skirts, wheels, fitting a spoiler, a set of headlight washers it rapidly started to look like a 16v.
Then the interior was replaced with a P4 set along with the nardi steering wheel.

Then the engine was promptly removed & the 16v loom fitted ready for the bigger lump.

I have several sets of recaros from P4s and late 16vs. I have a set of the alcantara recaros although they need a damn good clean.
Was looking for about 100 quid for a set. _________________ Drivers:

Hi Pat, no sorry i havn't got any seats at the mo, only standard 8v stuff and a few pairs of bucket race seats coming on the weekend. If Niel has a set for £100 ish i'd get in there and give him a wedge of dosh. The 16v conversion didnt take too long, i trailered the car here from Essex on 8th Jan, Steve will have it back all done on 3rd Feb. (fingers crossed) _________________ 155 sportpack
