You absolutley flying through this! I like the colour, the indecators work well.

 

Out of interest, just as you mention how many things are not your decision, is this a customers car or just a joint project of everyone in the shop?

 

Also this better make it to pugfest :D

I think the orange indicators work well with the green to, you wouldnt think they would but they do!

 

sadly its not mine and Im not really building it, its the garage next door and the owner of it is the garage owner so its up to him whats being done and what happens.

 

As for Pugfest Im woring on getting it there :)

I guess if you're going to mid mount a honda vtec in a dimma wide arched 205, you have some licence with the colour you choose.

 

Looks great!

OK no worries, it depends what someone wants with it? Its a 92 K reg, with v5 and ID still so can go back on the road, its a pretty mint shell with all the under side of boot floor, the engine bay and interior re-painted.

 

Shell with carbon roof all panels, glass, and OMP cage £1000.

Id be tempted to get another standard bumper painted as insurance incase the honda one looks s*it. Then you can just swap them over laugh.gif

I dont think so, it was bought cheap off ebay in a bit of a state, but with a lot of work on the fibre glass its come out great

The best part is we had it wieghed today and its just under 800kgs all in which is amazing!

 

It will be MOTed and Taxed Monday so then can see what it drives like but I think its going to be pretty good!

Awesome dude?!!

 

It's mad it's under 800kg that means it weighs as much as my rallye :S

That looks excellent, and the stance is perfect B) In fact I'm even surprised that the front bumper doesn't look too out of place, and just about works. I'm less of a fan of the cut-out in the tailgate though, the shape doesn't really look right.

 

And under 800kg! Mental!
