Thanks Matt. Will defo keep u updated. Haven`t decided what suspension yet but am on that now, will be custom jobby so i can get the power down. The rims look the dogs danglies and really set it off. Will stick em on take some photos and post the pics by tuesday and will take pics of rear end for you. The diffuser has been properly designed to do what it says on the tin, and u r more than welcome to the design if it works 4 u, and having v8 power under the bonnet it would be a good move 4 u :) .t he original windscreen will be will be cut down to fit. The roof chop wasn`t originally planned but as car was a sunroof model the a posts were a rust sandwich that i only discovered after i bought the one owner donor. So ended up buying non sunroof model and taking 2.5 inches off. Was nightmare job :evil: as nothing lined up, but good came from bad ! :P

Well ther'es only two words to describe your car -
WOOF WOOF :!: :!: :!: :!:
LS1 is the engine of choice at mo, seen everything from RX7s to Escorts Cossies to an E30 M3 with an LS1 fitted.
Are you having a new screen made, laying the original back or the classic trick of hiding the bottom in the scuttle itself? Screens are always tricky on a chopped roof.

Love those wide arches, makes Tommi's one look ever so slightly..flat-chested :D :oops: :shock:

its not the size that matter its what you do with it! lol

atleast my 15 inch rims will turn lol, i hate to think the kind of suspension and other bits thats going to have to be done to get 20" rims to fit, thats an epic adventure!

good luck though
