Title: My CDX - finally
Post by: Jay w on 28 June 2008, 21:21:03
Bought for £520 as a non runner, engine was absolutely knackered with 2 holes either side of the block.

So a replacement engine was sourced, MV6 leather found by FFCGary, LPG kit supplied by Jeremy and a few other bits such as a rear blind, parking sensors and a Kenwood DNX5220

Its still not as i want it, i need a new front bumper and elite rear spoiler

Finally some pics

cheers for the comments, there are still some parts i want to get for her, an elite spoiler being one of them...

I have finally seen some wheels i would like as well, however there are 2 issues...

They are Irmscher = expensive
They were designed for FWD = wrong offset

the Mesh grill and eyebrows were bought from someone on here, i think i fell luck as it was the last one they had.

The seats came out of a 99 MV6 that we found in a scrapyard, again another good find
