Tomorrow I am going to pick up the engine parts that has all been balanced and head work completed; I also got news from John at CCW that my new wheels are being packaged for shipping today can't wait to see these bad boys 6k euros worth of shiny wheels! I am also visiting the turbo specialist we are looking to hybrid the T04Z turbo for more power and efficiency and getting the results of the HKS 1000cc injectors!

 

Next is get engine put together and more chroming where possible!

 

Body work and interior will be next once all mechanical part of project is completed and tested but am looking at changing the side skirts to blitz, blend skirts, rear bumper and hybrid the do luck front bumper and spoiler and full retrim including new red carpets. Lastly will be carbon fiber bits and led lights front and rear.

Love that headwork, that's just engineering porn. Is it just the intake side that has the dimples, or are both sides getting the treatment? Interesting concept :)

 

Hi Scott, yes only intake side has the dimple the exhaust is polished..!

 

I got good news from Turbo specialist, he said my T04Z Turbo is in very good shape so no expenses there just a flush and clean. My injectors have also been tested and it all passed.

Convertibles are almost as good as a flat back pick up truck.

We must of got the measurements a little off since the back wheels needed te little spacers that were on the car before.

Thanks for the kind words and the best wishes; I will need it I a sure!

 

This week engine should be back in the car, can't wait to see it all put back together!

 

As well as the new wheels I believe I am going to change the side skirts to blitz, OEM spoiler and blended rear bumper, I will also try cutting and shortening the do luck spoiler to see if it will look more proportional to kit.
