Wow! How the hell did I miss this thread!? That is stunning!! :shock: :shock:

Mean isn't the word to describe this car, it's just rocketed into my favourite e21 list. Loving the wheels what size are they?

When you roll it out of the garage, give me a shout I'm only down the road!

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing it in the metal. Any idea when it might be up and running or if your likely to make any shows this year?

I think it will be it done by beginning of june so i get 4 months of good driving conditions at least. Waiting on an order from states and getting custom driveshafts, stubb axles and hubs machined up at moment and then it's just suspension, exhaust and engine management. Fuel system and some front end mods being done at moment and will get pics up on monday. As for shows i'll make a few but more interested in tracking it and some sideways action .

that is epic! :shock:

some questions...

is the kit fully metal or done in fibreglass?

with the front end all moulded into one piece, are you nervous that the first bump you hit it will destroy the whole front in one go?

got any pics of it sitting on the wheels on the ground? it looks like you'll have a fair bit of ground clearance with those 20's on the back?

Thanks for your comments. The bodykit is all metal and it will be low at front but should be ok and i have scanned the car from all angles so have 3d cad so if i need can get front in carbon fibre.
Hannah i never thought of it like that but now have all the motivation needed to get it finished before the shit hits the fan :lol:
