from memory i think it was around 3 litres, some people say to fill it till you see it just under full. Just make sure the car is level when filling. Overflow bolt would be the drain bolt under the box id say.

Hi Josh,

Car is looking great. And those brakes, well are simply top-shelf.

Q: Is the subframe powder-coated or painted, and more importantly what is the colour?

Excellent work!

Cheers,
Tricky


The frame is Powdercoated - see back a few pages - I think it was Charcoal Met. or something, just a metallic charcoal colour...

Yo Josh,

I took one wheel into the powder coaters, they are thinking they maybe able to keep the polished section and i may not have to sand blast them either, he is going to put them in the oven and see how the current paint comes up and we go from their.

i'll let you know, sorry for the hyjack.

Grant


How'd you go with the wheels Grant?
