Sorry for the lack of activity recently. I have reached some stopping points in the build because we are waiting on some parts to arrive... I will have a big update for you all Wednesday evening, the front bumper everyone hates will be making an appearance and the coilovers will be fitted all in ONE evening!

Big push now to get things ready for the weekend. :wink:
 
Had a few parts finally arrive today whilst at work and will be fitted tonight!

Front bumper.

Time to get back on the saddle! :thumbsup:
 
.... as b4, just a few more pictures so I can get my fix.

It's one of those that looks like an ugly ducking right now, so don't skimp just to make these deadlines, just get it right first time.

All the very best
 
Ok, so as I suspected the front bumper doesn't fit completely flush... this was obvious considering the car is 80mm wider at the front now and 170mm wider at the back... woop woop!

Heres some front bumper progression images... I know many people hated this front bumper when I posted a few images a while back, but I personally love it! It's going to look sick when finished and filled in.

As you can see the build is attracting a lot of local attention with people coming in just to see whats going on behind closed doors!

I was driving next to one of them at the weekend. Was a beauty! Two old fellas driving it, in the rain. With no roof :D

Haha , somehow i think there is too much cash going into this for it to even register in BB's SoTW :P
 
I admire your balls and vision.....

But the size of the nostrils on the front end is awfully exagerated....

I dunno why but they remind me of a beavers teeth!...
 
What is that?

Looks like a Pontiac badge?

The vents do look large on that,but they follow the flowlines of the outer vents so they dont look so bad on the eye..

Hmmm..
