Then this happened...

By no means is this perfect,still needs work to finish it Smile

I know its not a ££££ respray,but for a repair cost of £100 i cant grumble (minus the Carbon Fibre of course)

Clear Side Repeaters arrived today

Also noticed that i was getting a smell of Fibre Glass when i first drove the car. As the Turbo sits close-ish to the bonnet,the bonnet was getting warm rather quick. So after a message sent out on Facebook,i had a Turbo Shield dropped off to me the following day. I also ordered some Heat Reflective Mat to put on the underside of the bonnet.

And fitted

Carbon Fibre Canards fitted

Here are some extra photos which i werent originally going to post.

You can see in these photos that the paint finish is far from smooth as i mentioned in the previous post. But after driving it about and seeing it daily,i dont mind the rough texture as much now Smile

And thats how the car stands today Smile

To-do list is

- Oil & Filter Change
- Fit Oil Cooler
- Plumb in Oil Temp Gauge
- Fit P5 Frame Rails
- Underbody Seal underneath & wheel arches
- Source/fit 1.8 Open/LSD diff
- Fit Clutch
- Turn Boost up
- remap

Oh also have a set of Wide Arches to fit too Smile

Should hopefully see 200bhp at the wheels then and that'll be fit power wise

Small update...

Sprayed the slim skirts today and fitted the Drivers side. Cant fit the Passenger side yet because the bottom of the wing is rotten so will wait till i can get another wing before fitting it.

Cant really see it in the photos but also gave the wiper arms a lick of paint as there was still beige paint on them from when i first painted it
