MG Crash Repairs have started on the kit, sanding it down and getting ready for primer, quality of the kit is the best I have ever seen or owned.

May take me a bit of time but I do finish them ;) Problem when you do a build like this is cost and parts available, even the wheels, took a total of 6months to make and get here, then was looking for tires, had to come from Germany when we eventually got some 335 / 30 ZR18 to stretch and it all has a knock on effect.

Thankfully all thats left to do is collect the Bride seat rails from JDM Distro, fit the seats, rear divide, tidy the interior. Then mechanically fit a new accelerator cable, oil pressure sensor and map the ecu and she is done, from a cost perspective not much really.

Picked up a sleek headlight kit today and the rear bins vertical section for the interior, this car is almost fully done parts wise :)

Should have her at RD1 :)

Dropped into MG Crash Repairs yesterday to check up on the car and Mark is making good progress, thankfully he is as fussy as me so that should make a great build :)

This is without a doubt my favourite pic, showing my son Reese how the car was being put together :)

So I will try to keep regular updates coming as the car is coming along now, Mark has prep'd the standard quarters so if someone sneaks a look under the arch its still clean and tidy looking. The standard front wing have been fitted to be cut, the passenger one has a little damage so that is being repaired also but so far so good and the car is starting to take shape :)

More updates to come, after paint the wheels need to be refurbished, brides fitted, engine mapped and then the test spin :)

At least an end in sight after 3yrs of building her.

So Mark has been hard at it, I had to get rough second hand wings as they were the only ones available, he has been repairing the sections that are being kept and working on the shut lines to the best possible outcome given the choice of paint we are going with.

He has also gone OCD on the quarters both on the outside and on the inside :D

We also remove the factory aerial and thats all welded up now too so we are in good shape for primer.
