Supafly trade secrets and all that :wink: but as i have the mould anything is poss, but it aint gonna be cheap. I know you can get a racing bonnet from ur sides for cheaper which might be ur best bet. But i aint making no promises :!:

Hello Austin. Gonna have some more pics uploaded by the weekend showing the progress. Will get some pics of the wheels and tyres as well seeing as you`re a man who likes your deep dishes. You will be more than welcome to come and have a look and when it`s on the road i `d even take you for a drive .

that sounds good to me. I will be doing plenty of track days next year and as it is a 2 seater and you got access to some powerful mercs it`s a done deal. Will have some new pics up 2morrow.

omfg. e21 porn. this shit is crazy, i love it. keep us updated! cant wait to see what you do with the suspension and what it looks like with the rims on. photos of the rear end too please! ive got a diffuser planned for my car, so am keen to see what yours looks like.

with the chopped roof, what are you doing for a windscreen? mod the original or get a custom one done? or just perspex all round for the true racer style?

also, i noticed in this pic how they adjust the rear camber, very clever...
