Not really a project.. - StealthSteve - 03-03-2012
But a convertion, over the next month or so I'm wanting to swap my Sedan's phase 1 front end for a phase 2, having the phase2 106 makes me appreciate the facelift of the 97's, so I want do it.
I understand I wont be able to fit a bonnet without getting bonnet strut mounts welded to the top of the front shocker housing, but at local scrappy prices it should cost ~£60 to do the full lot (lights/bonnet/grill etc), is there any reason I shouldn't attempt this?..

ph3 would be better
Re: Not really a project.. - hbomb1905 - 04-03-2012
Probably be easier ways of propping your bonnet up mate, bonnet prop off a ford or vauxhall would do and a bit of blu tak
You'll also need headlights, bumper, grille and slam panel, oh and indicator stalk

Keep a plank of wood in the car for the bonnet. And as phil says, ph3 the car

You can buy bolt in ball joint type things for the gas struts. Just a case of drilling a hole and tapping it in. Job done!

This, nice and easy,
And the conversion its self is very easy, no reson you should have a problem, also you will need a ph2/3 slam pannel to allow the head lights to bolt in
Re: Not really a project.. - kingy - 04-03-2012
not many people go for the ph2. ph3 ftw.
Re: Not really a project.. - samass - 04-03-2012
i like ph2!
Re: Not really a project.. - StealthSteve - 06-03-2012
I'm unsure of the difference looks wise with ph2 Vs ph3?
I'm rooting for this look:

Front end wise, it seems that looks slimmer mid-body than mine.

Needed to be said again today
Re: Not really a project.. - darrenjlobb - 06-03-2012
Why would you want to remove the best front end? (the ph1)
Re: Not really a project.. - Foxy-jim - 06-03-2012
Phase 3 is the way to go!

Still ph1 grill & lights IIRC, just IC/Ph1 bumper interference issues IIRC

yeah, I suppose thats acceptable, hehe, but all the ph2 bashing is getting annoying! Surely its up to the person who owns the car and not everyone else though!
Re: Not really a project.. - ginge191 - 06-03-2012
phase 1 is pure win.. full stop...
just think - your driving along one day and some tard decides to smash your indicator - ME a phase 1 owned, heads to the scarptard, £5 later im fixed - YOU phase 2/3 douchebags have to repalce the ENTIRE unit..
All in all - phase 1's are cheaper, nuf said..

Is that really the only arguement for ph1 winning? Haha
Re: Not really a project.. - samass - 06-03-2012

I had a ph2, I flew the flag! But then sold it. As I had a small hamster powering the engine. And it was far too slow haha
Re: Not really a project.. - samass - 06-03-2012

Not really a project.. - Matt - 06-03-2012

Haha. Went back to backing the ph3 team

Ye I was sensible and bough a phase 3!
Re: Not really a project.. - samass - 06-03-2012

perv power in a phase 2, win.
Not really a project.. - Matt - 06-03-2012
I had a 1.6 in ph2 it was such much fail! Haha
Re: Not really a project.. - samass - 06-03-2012
Hah ahhh yes, that would be a lot of fail!
RE: Not really a project.. - StealthSteve - 24-06-2012
Just got an email about a reply to this thread; didn't realise it'd been so long!
I haven't swapped anything yet, but I have bought another car (corsa) to sell on for a profit which I'll use to fund the swapping.
At the moment the engines fubar'd - it died day after no ragging or anything, after a smooth drive (read the only time I've never exceeding a speed limit within reason) nI dropped a workmate off at his place and it died on the spot.
After throwing several spanners at the engine it still wasn't convinced to start again so I got it towed home and took the top end off, no damage to bores, pistons or gasket.
\Stumped.
(only been sat for 9 weeks now).
(edit - no, I've read the email date wrong. FML. lol, well I dont get the difference between ph 2 & 3 but my local scrappies have no ph1's in so I need to change it.)

Matt don't forget your rallye was originally a phase 2. Obviously living in denial...
