It's starting to take shape now

I will make this quick as I need to go to bed :runaway:

Engine & box ready to go in, all engine bay is prep'd for the heavy lump :roll:

Which leads me onto this photo, a good first polishing session on the engine bay........ Oh yes

Notice the new engine loom exit.

Thanks to these guys, Danny & Laura. The polish crew !!

You will notice in that last photo the front windows are now in and fitted.
Plenty of thought has gone into the door design to save even more weight.

The fit at the top is perfect (better than factory :lol: ) These windows will not pop out! I love the look of them with the original top trim, makes them look right!

Last couple random shots, the prop is now mounted and should all be conected tomorrow if we get some parts.

Thats all folks, see you tomorrow night :-D

Looks superb (still)

Any idea how this wider track effect bump steer or feel from the tyres George? It must change the feel of it quite a lot I would have thought.

It's that time again, The buildis going good but it's endless !!

Since Monday 7:30am I have done 60 hours and had 15 hours sleep and it's still not finished

Ok first up, Engine in, we dropped the back end onto standard GTR wheels (look good don't they :lol: ) this enabled us to move the car forward to the hoist.

From inside. This gives a good idea just to how wide these arches are.

the wiring loom gets smaller by the day.

this is about finished apart from front wing and lights & cooler pipes.

My mate JJ has been with me every night and has been a massive help, he polished these up tonight.

He even stayed late and helped me to put the rear anti roll bar on, as it's a really big job :roll:

The front doors are now fully finished, just need to mount the mirrors which will take 10mins. Rear quarter windows fitted & finished, I will get the rear & front screen in tommorrow and fit the boot. Its starting to take shape now.

TTFN

The stock wheels look like absolutely tiny on the car lol.

Project is coming on very very well, looking forward to seeing this. Nice one removing the wings and bumper so the paint doesnt get scratched.

They are not removed, they just haven't been fitted yet :lol: like you say, I am holding off fitting them until the last thing.

Are you going to fit a skin between the new wings and the old ones?

an arch to stop the shit ? Yes I am, it will be bling.

Just going back to car now to lock up, will take some more shots!!
