Not updated this in a lonnnng time! Quite a bit has changed since the last post....

Ran it with the Schmidts for quite a while, managed to smash a sump, had it damaged by Awesome Gti who kindly mangled the sills for me, and the RAC who dented the front wing....so the money I'd put away for mods ended up going toward putting the car straight again.

Then I got pulled off the Police for running the Schmidts, they protruded the arches and the police deemed it an unroad-worthy car and threatened to impound and crush it :o So the wheels went and got a set of narrow BBS RS's to go on....then sold them without them even touching the car!

Then the car went into the bodyshop to have the repair work done and a few tweaks....the arches were all repaired and pulled a tiny bit, the rust was taken out of the inner sills and the rear arches, the dent was removed and the sills were repaired and strengthened...the bumper was repaired were I managed to catch it on the way off my drive...and then had the handles CC'd and the Porsche 911 indicators fitted....

Then come edition time, finally got some rims to match the bodywork...a set of super rare Gotti 17" Splits in 5x100 pcd with a fully polished mirror face....

Then last thursday, with the help of a few mates managed to dump its on its arse and tuck the wheels right up...

Fronts been done rather conservatively, the rear settled a LOT lower than anticipated, so the front was done within reason, but theres a lot more space left so this week the fronts being lowered to match.

And thats where I'm upto with it now! Plenty more to come now I've decided to keep it. (Had a wobbler and thought about selling it for something Jap...) Under bonnet and Inside are next...then stage 2 outside...etc....never ending money pit but god do I love it!

Cheers for looking anyways...

Thanks mate, I know, spent a fortune on it, was supposedly keeping it as I bought it as well! HA!

I know its been a while but do you happen to know the model of that momo steering wheel?

Its a Momo Team 280mm wheel with an Isotta Boss mate.

Cheers dude, just fancied something different, BBS's were nice, but the photo's hide a bad refurb quite well, they would have cost me a fortune to get them refurbed into just another set of BBS's....I like being different anyways!

lovin what you done to the front bumper' date=' different

Thanks mate, not many others like this, can only think of two other UK cars that have them....

Heres probably about the best picture that'll ever get taken of it....done by a mate at a local meet.

...needs a bit of work to get it sitting right in terms of "stance".

But 2009 is going to bring some big changes, ordered the runners for the seats today, two week wait but will give me time to sort out the blue centres....

Then the rear seats are coming out, false floor going in along with a cage and harnesses. A change of rims may be on the cards as well...I'm thinking something more motorsports....either BBS CH's or something Japanese, Enkei's or Works....not sure yet.
