Well shes finally in the shop looking very sorry for herself, So far weve stripped the rear end, lights, ariel,rear wiper going for the smooth look.

 

also started working on the little dents and dings, removed all the windcreen trims and got me plasticote to refurb them. next is to cut out the drivers side sill at the rear as its full of rust and see what its like.

 

heres whats being fitted

 

AB Flug style front bumper

99spec silver/chrome headlights

single slot centre panel

viper front wings

bomex side skirts

demon rear bumper

smoothed lip spoiler

 

by the time the respray is complete the new engine and manual box should be ready to go in. Also sat at home ready is the new exhaust system and 19" Jade R alloys

 

ill put more pics and updates as build progresses.

Sounds interesting. A real shame you're fitting viper wings though.

I know there not your cuppa tea Si but I actually quiet like em.

 

cant wait to see how it turns out

Looking forward to seeing it progress Craig! will completely transform it.

Hopefully you'll see the light and change your mind. It'll look much more slick and pleasing to the eye with the original wings. Good luck though, the rest should look good. :)

I got becks to do my lenses on the lazer cutter the other day in smoked perspex. Looks really good.

 

Still not as bright as i would like them though :crying:

I was thinking smoked Perspex aswell instead of the other stuff we bought? Might take a trip down autoglass on Monday and see what acrylics they have.

 

As for the exhaust I already have a nice set of super megafones going on and I'm sticking with original seats with a nice retrim very soon

sounds like we will have quite similar cars, mine too is a black swb currently being resprayed with a smoothed antenna hole,wiper etc 99 spec front and a super megaphone exhaust.

 

factory fit recaros in mine though and no viper wings (because i could not stand the abuse from si).

 

am i still ok to pick up that wing next weekend

yeah shouldnt be a prob fella we should have the wings off by then.

will i get to see the car:rockon:

looking great mate

 

Are you kidding??? It's looking like a pile of crap :lol:

 

I bet it's gonna look awesome when its all done though. can't wait to see the finished result :)

The drivers sill is now all fixed, front bumper, wings & side skirts are in the middle of being test fitted and adjusted, and the rear lip spoiler is in place ready for blending
