Nice project! How did you get the bottom so clean?

[mini_sam]

wow! looking sm0o0o0oth, keep up the good work! :grin:

Nice project, and nice colour too...

Just one question.... you have changed the subframe for a manual one havn't you ? as the auto ones are wider to accomodate the auto gearbox.. you can fit a manual, but you will need some adaptors/spacers making up for the engine mounts.

Them alloys suit it so much!

Looks great

Keep up the good work
