For those who are interested/care LOL!

decided to approach the fakerrari by starting at the back and working forward!

So 3 nights to stick a bit of mesh in the rear panel:blink: then I moved onto the t/pipes.........

These stuck out way too far for me so started cutting and shutting em' Tonight,

As it arrived.

One in, one out!

 

Both done,looks loads better I reckon.....

This is what I was after from the side,

 

Need to order a h/level brake light and get the rear lights in next (originals :blink:)

:biggrin:

Cheers chaps!-done a bit more........

With the diffuser fitted the ar5e end wobbled,so made a couple brackets to support it,now solid!

 

Trying to show upper and lower grilles fitted with this pic and failing! LOL!

Inner air duct was then bonded in and the arch liners fitted,these are a git!-loads of trimming,trying etc.........

 

Got to squirt some underseal around and other than the brakes the rears done.

:ninja:

Looks fantastic mate :thumbup1:

 

Just out of interest, how much did the body shell cost?

Just need to ram in a real ferrari engine and brakes and it will be the nuts :-)

Just the panel kit to fit the Roadster is £7500.........

Had a go at the Headlights Today,they both need building up from bits to this.......

Then they go in and aligned as near as possible before bonding to the mounting!

 

Got both done and bloody glad that's over with!

:ninja:

Lights all wired in!-looks pretty mean in the dark LOL!

Knocked up a beam setter to get the headlights somewhere near..

Found the rad is Fubar!-still glad I found it now while it's accessible!

Whilst the front is stripped thought I give her a coat of underseal....

That's coming on very nicely mate.

 

Are you restricted on what cars you can use as a doner?

This is only based on the roadster mate,the Scuderia they do is based on a Ford Cougar!-oh and now the 458!(don't know how they away with it TBH!)

The roadster with a 2Gr-fe 3.5 litre V6 goes like the real thing,it's a monster! LOL!

Loving it Mantav,

 

Wish I had the knowledge etc.. to do this.

 

Excellent work:thumbup1:

So I thought I would add hood fitter to my C.V LOL!-hey,if I bugger it up I'll take it in to be done!

First thing was to fit the hood I won on E-Bay as the car came with just the frame and bits missing!

Two cables like these for a start,

So got the hood fitted and went about cutting the original off.....

Next job was to fit the rear 'turrets'-these shape the rear hood,

The headlining goes in first,the bugger is to keep it all tight as you go,

Headlining done and straps etc padded.......

 

First trial of the hood,not looking too shabby!

Still have to fit an inner carrier under the window,this is pulled tight inside the car......

 

Hopefully Tomorrow should see it done:whistling:

awesome work as always mate, wish i had the skills to do something like this, im not keen on this type of kit car as most are done poorly but this looks amazing

You have great hands to do all that mate, very talented

Cheers Stella-TBH there is a lot of shite out there regarding kits but I first came across these in Spain.

The more I looked into em' the more I liked em'-the feedback is brill from Customers,media etc.

Very talented guys who run the the place.:yes:

Here's the latest offering-very nice and I want one!!!

i hated the old 355 kits, they were terrible, looking forward to the end result of this one your doing

looks a neat job that:bow:

Finished at last!-not a nice job but one of those 'now I've done one......' cases!

Quite chuffed with myself actually,rag tops can look proper shite if not tight etc.....

Rubbers etc back on,hopefully water proof!

Even the headlining turned out nice (yes i'm surprised!)

 

More later.....

:hammer:

Bloody hell mate, just seen this - cracking job so far! :hyper:

looking amazing mate :thumbup: wish i had the money and skill to do something like this.

although it's a shame you can see the toyota branded engine through the rear hatch cover.
