Picture 2 makes it look real cool, and picture 3 it looks like a DTM car. Looking well dude.
I will be adding canards and a diffuser (possibly) to break up the front a bit yet, the bumper had to be widen 100mm at each side to give you an idea. The car is 6ft 3" inches at its widest point :)Quote:

The space on either side of the fog will be cut out and I will be flushing the licence plate recess for a smooth arse on her ;)

I needed to line up the rear bumper section I cut off, so used some metal from a bonnet I chopped and pop riveted it on to hold the shape.

Caesar invited his bitch over to chill while I did the work of course.

So I had to give the garage a bit of a clean as it was wrecked, threw the car back in and I have to say I felt sorry for her.

So with a burst of new interest pulled her back out of the garage Monday and got back to some sanding / stripping.

Unfortunately this is the slow part making sure the lines look good and everything fits like it should, removing the wiring from the doors and unnecssary clips. However I have enlisted the help of a mate (panel beater) who will be repairing any of the dents in the doors and priming them. Also we will be finishing the bonnet and wings to get them ready for primer. All of the above should be primed by early next week, then its a case of finishing the bumpers, skirts, spoiler and boot and having them primed. Once all the exterior bits are finished and ready for paint the engine bay and interior will be attacked, this is how the car sits now :
