    nah, can't afford that

    anyway the turd in question would need more polishing than a 'liner ever would,

    anyway the project is well underway now, fingers crossed it works first time

    yeh, with a hybrid facelift/prefacelift wiring loom.

    i reckon a vr2 conversion would be a walk in the park compared to this.

    now there's an idea

    Apart from the 2wd thing, the end result will be about the sweetest 8G that isn't a VR-4

    Ha Ha sorted the vicious bastid, the etacs unit is different on the legnum's to the uk cars, even though the wiring is the same

    i do believe this car has taken over K's old legnums title of 'baby eating bishop of bath and well's' it has fought me every step of the way, the fecking thing has even tipped over 2 bottles of ice cold corona with no one near the car i was not happy.

    i wondered how long before you noticed this

    i wasn't taking anything away from your hard work, it's just this was a complete git of a conversion, which invloved changing 3/4's of the cars wiring loom just to get the engine to run

    but hey i have factory cruise control working now (yet another 1st from the east of the country )
