thanks

just read through your entire thread. what a project!!! glad to see it coming along so nicely. and so fast!! i can't wait to start throwing parts onto my hartge build haha. i've gotten super lucky finding all my aero bits and shift knob and wheels. i don't think i'll be doing the motor or anything like that; i love my m42 too much lol. i'll get you photos of that rear valence as soon as i get my hands on it.

Glad you enjoyed the thread. Great that you found the side skirts and rear valance. The engine would be hard to find, and the m42 is a nice engine. Thanks for the offer to get the pictures, will help me in my search for the real rear valance. Right now I have a zender on there....I think, but it looks pretty close to the hartge. Took me one year to put this project together:)....have lots of other little things to do, but it drives and looks decent.
enjoy your car, it is a nice one,

Hey Barron: Where did you get the h23:) Looks really good!
I am going to post pictures by the end of the week, assuming I get my home internet hooked up.
The comfort seats look pretty good, and at least everything matches:)

new pictures

Got the speedometer switched over to the 240km one instead of 220. Was able to switch the sticker (hartge) without too much trouble. The AF gauge needs to be put in a bit better, but it is good for now. The interior is done, except I am still looking for the dark houndstooth seatcovers for the front sport seats I have in storage. Car runs good, but is put away for the winter.....and the project we are working on right now:).....more information on that later...

So this is about 750 to your door? That is not bad for a real one.

I've been back and forth so many times.. I'm sticking to the plan, which is full OEM euro conversion with all the goodies, then add ITBs and SC. I'll be perfectly happy with that.. Once that's all done I'll rethink the body kit again. Had an MT1 kit and sold it. Barron has his spoken for, so It will be some time for me.

I do admire Hartge very very much though lol.

Is it just me, or are the m-tech kits getting more expensive and harder to find???:)
