apolloxbgt Donating Members 109 Member For: 15y 10m 20d Gender: Male Posted 22/06/12 12:54 PM Author Share Posted 22/06/12 12:54 PM Got the motor box and rear end and just about everything else out of the parts car today.Bonus,the parts car has had the whole rear end rebushed and the tailshaft replaced,so it should have as little driveline clunk as possible for an FG.The engine loom,engine bay loom and under bonnet fuse and relay box will have to be changed out for sure.The good news for me is that the looms can be changed without removing the dash as they all plug in behind each kick panel.The other thing that worried me was the pedal box,it also came out without removing the dash (a must on e series),it will only need the steering column out.As you might be able to tell I really didnt want to pull the dash out of a 2 year old car,I hate dash rattles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are done you could sell it to a forum member Dillz, loves the G6 and manual gearbox. Perfect combo for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you still have it?!The coupe is gone now mate.It was my wedding car back when I owned it,but for what it was worth I couldn't justify it sitting in the shed never being driven.

tuono Member 312 Member For: 14y 1m 10d Posted 23/06/12 11:06 PM Share Posted 23/06/12 11:06 PM Gaining value in the shed though? Worth a bloody fortune in 20 years. Some of the cars we have sold hey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
