 Looking real good Garath  Keep up the hard work

 I've managed to get the rear deck more or less finished today, except for all the filler and blending work, I am so pleased with how this has turned out, when I started the project this was the part that worried me the most, I really wasn't sure how I was going to do it, but by takng it a step at a time I've managed to get the look I'm after.

as always, your comments are welcomed :)

Looking sweeeeeeet . Cant wait to see it in the flesh

Whats going on with the rear lights then ?

Thank you sir :)

I've just marked them out to see if 2 round units will work, looks like it will, so I will be working on that at some point :)

 The rear deck is looking good mate  Let me know when i can come and spend a saturday with you to help with the filler work to blend it all in

Thanks mate, that would be great, any Saturday would be great :)

 I put some wheels with a more interesting spec on today just to decide if I want to put wide arches on it, or if wider wheels with a lower offset would be enough, what do you think guys?

 Wider !!!! I think those arches you put on that black one a while back would look spot on

Really enjoying watch this car develop. Is looking really good so far.

They were really nice, but they come from the states, and are rather expensive, I will look into it though, it would look good :)

Love them wheels she's gonna look sharp

 I'd like to see the arches staying stock. The rest of the body changes are quite radical - but subtly done. However I have seen a Porsche Speedster replica that has rather nice 'bubble arches' that could look good, if you REALLY want to go that route.

It's looking really hot, look forward to seeing it (when you planning on doing the damaged wing).

thanks fella, so is yours

I'm considering some wide rear arches, if I go for them I wont need to repair the rear wing because most of it will be cut out.
