Not really a project..
#1
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?..

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

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

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.

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!

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..

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).Dodgy
(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.)
