Default Just a few pics of progress.

As alot of you know I completely took this car apart for a RHD conversion.
Things are going back together nicely.
Contructive critics are welcome to comment.

Just a few more pics....Be glad when I can dust if off and get some pics outside in the sun. It shines really well when clean.







New pics!!!
I know its dusty as hell. But no sense in washing till done.

Is the entire kit carbon or just the front bumper?

Looks like it could be a nice finished product. Not sure what I think about the screen in the trunk though.

Headlights need to go too. And if this is gonna be a strict showcar you need a better intake and header setup.

I think this car belongs on another forum, if you would like to get positive feedback. Good luck with the progress.

Hood, fenders and bumper are carbon.

Whats wrong with the header and intake?

Well the screen in the trunk will be used to show a ton of pics as the car was in various stages of the build.

What headlights would u suggest?.......I was going to use these shells for some H.I.D units....I read somewhere about a year ago that these were good for that conversion. Just have not gotten that far along yet.

I had them powder coated.
My entire suspension and front sub frame are the same way.
Energy suspension bushings throughout.

Very nice cars indeed.

I plan to remove the motor next winter and do a complete smooth firewall with heat and a/c. Finding time to work on it has been the issue.

Gets alot of positive attention around here.
Black will be the final color.

I hope you had some kind of ventilation in there...you don't want all that dust from sanding in your lungs... Not a fan of the wing but your doing the work yourself so good job
