well today i managed to start to put things together WOOO finally!!!
haha its been a while... over 12 months of cutting rust and fabricating.
i put together the struts and got that sorted out. picked up the cad-plating and the motor :D
the motor was built by Advanced Engines, and i would recomend them.
hopefully install the front-end tomorow.

Yeah, trying to do all the panel work. I will strip the thing back, take everything out, no glass nothing. Take it down, get him to block it, and spray on a 2pac gun metal grey.

I'm getting Performance Superlites, 15x6, got a quote today, $1480, with Fidanza silcone rubber (supposedly really good). =]
