Default ABW 4dr to 2dr bodykit

I haven't shared any projects for a while so I thought some people may like a look at this one , the shell has already been welded and a cage put in , now it's down to us to build the kit before the engine etc. goes in . I've only got a few crappy phone pics at the moment but it'll get things started while I dust off the digital camera .

last year :

The DMN....that should be fun!

Good luck with it guys.

No doubt we'll bump into each other in a paddock somewhere, sometime in the future.

I haven't started yet lol,I'm on holiday next week and I'll be starting when I return.
I have a project thread going as I plan to do alot of other stuff while I'm at it.
Speaking of which do you do or know where to get hold of a rear diffuser or do you make your own as I'm quite happy to do that if required?
