I was actually going to convert it sometime.

but not untill after i register it.

i had, had a few thoughts on what i'd put in it,

but wasnt to sure.

most people were like 'rotary' but i'm not a fan. :jamie:

then others were like v6, but everyones got em.

so it was nice to have been told about something different.

defently considering.

 

 

 

Put an SR20DE in it hehe, though I've found a few members on here that is trying to do it. I heard of some Cosworth engine might be able to fit? Though don't hold me on it. I don't think I've seen them yet, though I could be wrong >.<

 

I want to see more pictures! ^_^

That sucks arse that you have to wait, although on the bright side you get a car to drive around in and also its not a commodore!

I've owned a few Cortina's in my time and my quickest car was my Cortina :y:

 

Nothing gay unless its a 2 Litre :yes:

[ke55_sr20turbo]

Thanks guys.

Yeah i think it's a 2L. *shifty eyes* :P

 

Anyways, I got my dash out and have just repainted it Gloss Black.

With the boyfriends help!!!

Even the grey centre bit and eventually when i fibre glass the

top dash bit to fit a temp & water gauge will be able to do that to.

I think it looks hot already!

Here's a pic:

 

 

I also just bought a Kenwood Cd player with direct USB for her.

 

Yay!
