Yea garage only few months old and is great hopefully the front will be ok once I manage to get the lh side inline again.

Time for a bit of an update. Car now has new exhaust and oil lines for turbo (next time I will get it all custom made as off the shelf is very hit or miss as to what the fitment will be like) as well as a 260k speedo with carbon surround and na cloth seats in good nick to replace the cruddy part leather ones. Body kitt I just waiting for final shape with the sand paper to get the shape right and will order the paint finally. I have also acquired a new ic pipe kit and fitted that Pics will be sorted of progress soon.

Will have to sort the pics for the freshly painted car, Its looking good now all one colour but id far from a pro paintjob but im not going to worry bout that as it's not exactly a mint straight car anyway as the wof sheet verified Still having issues with the suspension as there is no travel at all and I still has a few small jobs to do like tacking the brake dealy I broke off the rear hose back onto its flange and welding up a couple of tears in the frunk, the wof guys passed the exhaust but only because it was ok off boost and they flicked it on balljoints and a few other small issues so wont take me long to finish it then its time to do the timing as supposedly when I do hit boost there is some flamage when I let off the gas again

Looks cool, keen to see how this turns out.

[Mike n Rochelle]

Yea I am real happy with the way it looks

[Mike n Rochelle]

As you all can see she is not mint but its way better then the original mess that I drove into the garage, Unfortunately the springs are out for the meantime so there is now a 2" gap in the front guard and will soon be the same in the rear but oh well it will be awesome to get to enjoy the fruits of My labour. Thanks to those who's brains I picked along the way and those who will continue to share there wisdom with me and those who helped along the way especially Rochelle who has had to put up with me and the car as bits of it went from the drive to the house to the garage and then back onto the car. Will be more pics coming as soon as I get a WOF on her and get it out for more pics

man thats looking sweet!

[Mike n Rochelle]

Not too bad considering the front kitt arrived here in two parts and had been smashed more than once I have a set of 17x7 and 17x8 alloys to fit and the spot lights to put back in so it should look even better once there on the car The tom's wheels will get used for track duty unless Rochelle taxes them for Her car again as that's where I stole them from
