Car has finally made the workshop and will slowly start to be worked on when time allows,first job will be to mock up the position of the ABW arches and get the riv nuts in place to hold them and cut the roof vent into the roof.
Pics to follow.


Wheels have been chosen and will be collected in around 2 weeks.
I have Adam Knight to thank for them as there coming off his wide arch type r,cheers mate

Front bumper canards[carbon]
Carbon mirrors
Alu flat boot floor
Battery/washer bottle relocation to boot
Rear alu fire wall

What turbo are you sticking on the rotated inlet

Those under-pinnings will put mine to shame, I'd best pull my finger out

Not to sure yet Jon on turbo choice,time will tell there but I want the inlet turned as it shortens the pipe work but also looks very nice lol.
The under pinnings should look very nice as I'm going to paint eveything,get yours off and down to me soon and you will beat me

Little chance of that, the car becomes the daily hack from a week on Monday

Might have to buy a cheap little runabout
