Fwd is no fun carl, should have bought the borg back

[killa]

Would love the borg back chris just dont have the funds this little sucker only cost me $500

But i havn't been able to touch it as yet my brother brought a VR4 and ive been doing a few upgrades on that for him!

should be able to get started on it soon though then ill get some progress pics up

 

[killa]

Well i thought i had updated this but i guess i havent.

I brought my old Cyborg back off Chrisbruggerman (RIP) after selling it to him to go overseas.

Anyways thought i would give a little update. The Borg had been going really well untill it snapped a clutch fork which put it off the road for about a week while got a new one and installed it.

Then a couple of weeks after it was back on the road a lady pulled out of a side road right in front of me(her window was fogged up and she didnt see me) and i smashed straight into her:fuuuuu:

Anyways a few weeks on and an agonising wait to see if the insurance company would allow me to fix it or write it off??:thumbsdown: I finally hear from them and they will let me fix it :thumbsup:

Not to badly damaged but still other than the badly fading paint this was one very straight and tidy example of a Cyborg.

So the $$$ from shannons finally came through so i set about getting her fixed up.
I tracked down the best second hand parts i could find. Searching though all the local and not so local import wreckers till i found everything i needed to repair the damage.

I replaced the Radiator support panel and the front section of the RH skirt with a second hand section.

Found a good second hand gaurd with only a few small dents that could easily be fixed.

didnt have much luck finding any good bonnets so took a bit of a chance on an aftermarket taiwanese one which was cheaper then the dented up crap they were trying to sell second hand and actually for a taiwanese part is half decent not perfect but pretty damn good.

Some more pics i know how we all love pics!!

So i fitted some genuine Evo 0 vents. and shaved the moulding out of the front bar :drool:

It will look a little out of place for a while with that fresh new paint next to the faded 22yo paint but hey i figured i intend to respray it a completely different colour so i just painted the bits i "had to" so i can get it back on the road and so shannons will re-insure it.

New Radiator support painted.

New Bonnet with cut outs for Evo 0 vents

Fitting her all back together.

mmmm gotta love those vents:wub:

 

[GSRSOL]

great job. props to you for sticking with it too ...

I wish I had got that borg at the time ~!

 

[bazeng]

Cool!

Looks great with the vents!

 

[jerome266]
