Wanna sponsor an engine, was only talking about this last night with MCON off Irish rotary, 65k for the 4 rotor kit from PPRE (Mad Mike's engine builders) and you have to assemble it yourself and get it mapped. One mistake and your 65k outta pocket ! I'd buy an R35 first.

I was afraid of getting too wrapped up in this build from the very start so I made sure that the car would be completely road illegal so I'd have no other choice but to put it on the track. As for going full tilt, thats just a confidence issue that will be over come with practise and sure if it gets smacked I know a lad to fix it

PPRE are the best there is next to Re-Amemiya

Decided to get off my lazy hole and fit the primed panels back to the car, next up is the boot door, still have to collect the bonnet.

Spoiler shut line is working well with the original shut line of the boot.

Fat arse on her.

Just about dude, crowbar and some wd40

So finished off the boot door and tackled the sideskirts, they were straight so they needed to be twisted to match up with the new arches, after some chopping and fibreglassing I got there in the end, threw a few more bits on like the mirrors and petrol cap and I think she is starting to come together slowly

So the boot, bonnet and skirts should be back from the bodyshop Sunday or Monday

Thanks dude

So I got the bonnet, boot and sideskirts back from the bodyshop, all are primed now so there is only the two bumpers that are left to do from a bolt off / bolt on point of view. Happy with how the skirts turned out, the fit turned out well as nothing is holding them on front or rear, just in the middle. Enough words, more pic's :

Got enough vents ?

Looks good...

Next up, the rear bumper :
