Keep the progress pix coming! Any performance upgrades planned?
Nothing seems realy needed for now. This clean Gold has Koni, Brembo all around, C&B cams, K&N filter, etc. I actually "downgraded" the car a bit : it was about 1.5" - 2" lowered when it came to me from Texas. In order to keep it roadworthy with the Veloce kit, I paid extra to work the front torsion and replace the rear sport springs with factory ones...
The rear bumper was from a TS, so we did a right exit cutout and fill the center with figerglass. The body shop guy is playing with paint to get the color I want right: sort of a hothouse tomato red.
Yiminlu, How does that fr. end mount up? I received one of those front ends when I bought my car. I got 2 flimsy brackets with it. But there not attached. Did you have to rivet the sides to inner fender piece? Is there brackets for the front mounts and/or did you pull the front shock mounts out? Any help or photos would be appreciated, Joe Looks like a great set up! I did the same w/ my car and put new stock springs in.
The only mounting issue with the Veloce front end is one of the air vents; a small adjustment to make room at its back. The brackets all fit, I just had to either fasten them or custom-make a few as the bumpers are old, from the 80's.
The front end in your picture is a Zender bumper. Mounting must be different from the Evo or Veloce due to different design. I've never seen one in person so I don't know. Here're 2 pictures of my bumpers, with brackets fixed and ready for installation.
Don't change the colour unless u want to take every last nut & bolt off ,Boot Motor etc.... Inside doors the list goes on forever. If there not done right they look well.... Jason ( white is cooler in summer and shows off the grey lines down the side)
The Zender rims are very nice, but those 15" 5-spoke Momo that came with my car are just good enough so I rather save some $$$$ Plus they are so easy to clean.
A few pictures taken when this Gold automatic first came to me in April.

Are those wheels really MOMO? They look like Fittipaldi or some old Australian wheels AR Ricambi used to sell. Are they stamped MOMO on the inside?
I just seem to remember MOMO stars have a harder, flatter look to them. Also different style centers.
