Robby Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm trying to work out the efficiency of my planned build compared to the possibility of buying something very much like what I would want to achieve!! Not really sure where to start but basically I want a showroom looking 'fast cruiser'. I won't be racing it or anything, and love my auto box (sorry!). The car is currently a tired GZ Aero. As far as I'm aware there are no major problems with the car so on the assumption it will only need whatever basic mechanical wrongs righting, (quite likely I guess on a 15 yr old car?) i want to proceed as follows: Engine tune up and BPU (that's plentiful power for me) New front bumber / skirts / overfenders / rear bumber / carbon bonnet / rear spoiler all blendid and top spray finish. (Happy to use used parts so long as a perfect fit is ultimately acheivable.) Obviously all windows out and seals replaced. New Brakes New suspension New wheels (happy to refurb / second hand) Retrim leather seats / recarpet inside / steering wheel / general interior modification. I want everything doing to a top quality standard that will last for many years to come. On any of the above details could anyone provide me with rough estimates of what things may cost (or what similar things have cost you) so I can start to build a bit of a budget. Please also point out if there's anything major I have missed!! Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Blended panels and longevity with no cracks or de lamination don't sit well together. Accident damage can be a nightmare. Can you not try and achieve a look you like without using any filler at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
