Cheers guys, yep the chassis rails are black, My z18 was getting tired and has limited scope for modding, also hard to find parts and knowledge about them compared to a ca18.

Yep had to mask up the original stickers! Goes without saying!

Been doing a few wee things, got all the suspension back in properly, hooking up fuel lines heater hoses, and have made sure the radiator and intercooler fit nicely.

They do but its pretty tight. Have to get some bonnet pins as the intercooler sits in the space where the bonnet catch uesd to go through.

I was thinking of getting them anyway as I dont want the bonnet to fly up with its new found speed.
