Big thanks out to Indigo :D
Eve lives on :rock:
spent all day at my mates house. I detailed his golf mk2 gti back to showroom spec
and he welded eve's scorpion zorst to saffy 8-)

decat needed 1 1/2 inch added and flange turned to force centre section up into tunnel.
the centre section needed bending to exit the tunnel straight and the nasty mild steel flanges removed
and now straight through full stainless steel one piece centre to backbox ;) :D

it has a nice low grumble to it all the nasty honda rasp has gone and Vtec has a real growl....
very happy and glad Eve's voice lives on!!!!

the only way I could get this done was in the right place right time ;)
the guys that did it are called "South Coast Plasti Dip" they are on facebook and wanted some show work out there ;)

Jamie had invested in a new gun to spray Holo flake and was itching to use it...
he plasti dipped the boot but the glossifier coat sank...

so he lost money doing Saffy but since then the picys have done the rounds on southern customs show page and have generated a lot of new work his way :D

am having stickers made up and will wear them with pride ;) as their service and work are second to none.... and their prices are cracking too ;)
