Unfortunately I will have to get rid of the original black vortex as I don't have enough cash to do the ro...

Thanks again Bennie.

If everything goes well this weekend the turbo engine will be running and slowly start the transfer :)

Is it possible to change the front end so I can have the S2 or am I stuck with the S1 front?

Hi everyone Just searching on gumtree and found this nice looking vortex, This has a rear wing (had to find) and only chasing $100.00 for it. Also has heaps of other good parts, worth a shot having a look before it gets crushed :) www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/caboolture-south/auto-body-parts/wrecking-sub...
