BillyZed Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Won't take long. Takes 5mins to get front end off Quote
KyleR Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Won't take long. Takes 5mins to get front end off Not just the bumper. It's bumper, front lights, crash bars, radiators and pretty much everything in front of the engine. Quote
KyleR Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Still really small job... Are you having a laugh? Of course it's all relative to what a person is used to, but it'll take several hours for someone with the right tools and knows kind of what they're doing. Not something I'd take on if it wasn't completely necessary. Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I can get my front bumper off in literally about 1.5 mins, the rest can't take too long and if you want some shiny timing chain coverage surely it's worth it for a good price anyway. Quote

Looks like we are just better in every single way **** easy job and yes I've taken the front end off a 350 before 1 Quote
ZMANALEX Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Big job to do properly and only worth doing if already stripped for other work. Alex. Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Why bother... :scare: You could ask the same for most forms of modifying. 2 Quote
BillyZed Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Big job to do properly and only worth doing if already stripped for other work. Alex. Will this still fit with the Vortech V3 supercharger fitted? Quote

Will this still fit with the Vortech V3 supercharger fitted? Of course, it's just an OEM piece that you already have that's been painted. I think Will asks "why bother?" Because it can't really be seen. I've put quite a bit of time into my bay recently and I've no idea what shape my cover is in. 1 Quote

BillyZed Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 If the external shape isn't the exact same it might not fit properly with my charger Quote
gsexr Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Lot of hassle for a dark enging bay in the end Quote
BillyZed Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Lot of hassle for a dark enging bay in the end Yeah I'm taking the whole front off anyway to install the charger so may as well do this at the same time Quote
Vlad Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Lot of hassle for a dark enging bay in the end Yeah I'm taking the whole front off anyway to install the charger so may as well do this at the same time Why? Lol it's very possible to install it with just bumper off and undetray lol Quote

Lol it's very possible to install it with just bumper off and undetray lol Because I'm changing a lot of the front end for the sake of it Quote
evilscorp Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I can understand if you were fitting a new rad at the same time but not heard of any vortech owners that took the whole front off for their install(maybe keyser when he went mental painting) Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I think he has MOAAAAR plans than just the supercharger 1 Quote

evilscorp Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Fair enough, have you got a build thread on the go? Quote
