Got a good bit done on this yesterday
Mahooosive thanks to ConorD1 for givin up his saturday to help
I dont really know where we started, stuff just kinda started gettin done
Removed the tint from the back 3 windows as it gives the car a far cleaner look and i want people to see the recaros and cage :D

Got the brakes all hooked up and coilovers set and bled brakes
Also removed all the aircon system, the 2 rads and aircon fans, pump and pipe work - there was a lot in this so was good to get out and will make the bay a LOT less cluttered

While i was up front conor took out the sounddeadening in the rear for me so when its painted itl be nice and flat, im going to leave the sound deadening under the carpet at the front as this is going to be a road car and it wont be seen. il more than likely be keeping the stripped interior at the back
This is how we left it at 11 last night and it was off to the pub for Beer. she should be back on 4 wheels today and within the next week taken off for paint

So the Origin 30mm quarters landed today all the way from Origin in Japan
MAHOOSIVE thanks to Jesse Streeter, cheapest i could have got them anywhere and they were here within days
The finish on these is unfuckinbelievable

So i went down and screwed the coilovers down some more and tested the wings and quarters against the wheels

Cant wait to see this finished,I do agree about the uras bumper tho,looks wrong!
-
Gonna look well! Get onto the phone and tell them to take it back! It just dosnt look right against the rest of the car :(
-
Just went through the whole thread. The car is a credit to you man and all the work you have put in.
Love the spoiler looks the muts nuts.
-
Just went through this thread, excellent stuff, really like where you went with it, gonna look class when painted.
I agree that the Uras should be binned but is still going to be gorgeous.
Fair play

Thanks for all the kind comments folks :) it has been a long ol road
I understand the concern about the URAS rear
the last photo i put up does show it hanging off and sagging and it does look a bit ignorant from the angle - it was only thrown on with duct tape
I have this photo to show that it actually lines up pretty well with the spoiler and we did hold it in tight with the sideskirts and it lines up really well with them aswell - thats why i just want to see what itl look like when its all fitted properly. il prob rock it for a while but if i still dont like it in a few months il prob just go order a hipposleek off jesse streeter
still a bit too much??
