        I dont know man, I think the old front end fits your car well. Most cars it doesnt look right, but it seems to work on yours.

          I would love to have the USDM front like yours with the orange indicators. That is the look I really want to go for. Just something about the USDM style that i love so much

                      This is what happens when we drink, we paint my engine bay with wrinkle paint :shock:



                      Started to take some of the paint off, will need to get some primer this week :| turns out I don't have any

                        Solid work, looks good. May I ask, FE3 at gearbox, custom mounts and axles?

                        That would be a neat daily, and my buddy's trying to sell his FE3 to me.

                        Thanks

                          if you use 626 hubs then you only need one custom axle, also need custom engine mount and a front gearbox mount a normal BF one works in the rear. Will aslo need to slot the rear mount about 20mm to allow for the engine to sit properly. Its ALOT bigger than a standard BP or B6 motor my passenger wheel rubs on the gearbox

                            wow you're rebuilding the car? you're a crazy man, but love the progress you're making! Car's gonna look awesome.

                            I agree with your front end suiting the car very well, makes it look like an old model, which is great too see, especially in that condition.
