Planning a Tribute Build

missing kit

Aggh! had to leave my kit in Hastings with Havair, different exhaust box to come tomorrow, seems to be in safe hands though, feel lost without it, on route there was a some knocking when turing right, possible diff problems caused by spacers?

Had a pic from Havair today tail pipe choices going with the chrome on the right.

Thanks Chris Havair's web site is down at the moment, but there is lots of facebook photos of their work, slamed VW etc.

Looks very good. Is that a custom system they are making for you?
tonyt 24 Sep 2013, 7:01pm
Yes custom built, they are agents for [url]www.longlife.co.uk[/url] I have had a few Longlife exhausts over the years and they are as good as they say. (still have one now on my Prelude fitted about fifteen years ago, my Dad still has one on his Shogun fitted around twelve years ago)

Car now back all fitted and sounding great.

Your car is coming together very nicely Tony. :cool:

Good luck, Paul. :)
tonyt 27 Sep 2013, 4:38pm
Thanks Paul, but more filling and sanding and it will be off for paint, keeping the colour close to my chest at the moment.:icon_mrgreen:

The TUI number plate makes me think of baby blue

tonyt 29 Sep 2013, 4:52pm
Ha, my dateless plate was only £20, baby blue is not the colour though, nor is pink, whats with all this baby stuff?
WorldClassAccident 29 Sep 2013, 5:50pm
Where did you get a dateless plate from?

I want one for my build but the websites i hacve seen want hundreds or even thousands of pounds!
landmannnn 29 Sep 2013, 7:46pm
On ebay you can get N Irish plates for £10. I
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 2:47pm
For that money I'd want a car as well!
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 9:40pm
Distinct lack of up dates and photos of late, best I can do is this.
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 9:41pm
Then this.
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 9:50pm
And this

Had to fiberglass in where I had cut the kit to fit the cheap ebay quick fix exahust extention.
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 9:54pm
Oh,and not happy with the left front so cut it back drilled out some rivets and have now filled it again!
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 10:13pm

Just needs sanding now.
tonyt 4 Oct 2013, 10:15pm

Looks better without the transverse exhaust box.
tonyt 5 Oct 2013, 7:23pm
Sanded back just needs stopper.
