Nice one fella,I bet your dad would be sat up there well proud of your efforts
I look forward to seeing it progress to the finish fella,I'll defo be watching

As for mine it will be done over a period of time due to my workshop being so busy,so as and when I get chance job I'm afraid.
I have a lot of plans to do to it while i'm doing it all.

No worries mate,like most builds I think it can never happen all at once and rushing it will only end in a job your not happy with.

Right some ideas that are being spoke of back at here at base are
Remove boot floor for flat alu one
Relocate battery/washer bottle/boost and map sensor[basically smooth engine bay as much as possible]
Rear diffuser
Move fuse box to inner wing area
Tidy all engine bay wiring
Remove and paint all under pinnings[subframes etc]
Spoilerless??

Comments welcome!

That gold colour is stunning and the kit fitted to it is amazing too. I'm not normally a fan of any kit fitted to a car that isn't original manufacturer equipment but this one i like!
