Default NEWAGE ROOF BUTCHERY :(

ok i thought id share with you what iv been doing the last few days iv been butchering my car some what rotten after having what looked like a finished car then taking the thing mostly apart and chopping the roof off i almost cringed my self at doing this

but after some hard raft getting the car stripped and the old roof peeled off and the help of a quality part its finally fitted

its not 100% complete as im awaiting the delivery of some lexan plastic windows so the windows arent sealed in or the top roof gutter trims also so if they look abit fnny you know why

well after it looking so awfull all week end today it looks awesome i love it i was going to add a spec c roof flap but i dont think i can come to chop the roof i looks so nice


the strip down










the test fit














the finish

Cheers for all the comments folks

Rbon the bonnet is a seibon carbon bonnet mate

Goml the roof is a ams product from the states mate there not cheap but well worth it as they actually fit as good as the original roof mate

Graham 2013 session were hoping to enter totb/ 30-130 the mlr events and scooby sprint maybe and our own track days we plan to set up aswell also on the road most week ends

Cheers addy I don't think andy has gotta worry he is nuts I'm going for a more all round car but hopefully should still be very competitive also

Blue bug it was indeed grd shell nearly a few years ago before we saved it it may look famlier but I garrenty you it's no longer the same nearly everything that James dd has been redone as the quality was nowhere near up to scratch the entire car has been re done but kit is the same as James brought but the rear quarters has had to be re done again and all the bumpers and wings ect has had to be redone again as they was simply awful fitting and held on with nothing but tin can metal it's all been redone and for the better it would have been cheaper and quicker starting from scratch but hey we all live and learn lol

John the whole front end is being space framed from the subframe forward in a few weeks time so it's all tubular and easier to work in it will be left open but there be some solid wheel gauges added at this point to separate the wheels to the exhaust ect mate so tere be another up date soon lol

Urban there conards they help with frot end down force and front end grip fella
