Fow come you extended your wing on one side? :S

Looks good though :D. Especially the rear end repair, very clean.

When the front end was fitted the wing didn't meet up with the Apanel. So a 3/4" section was dropped in place to make it meet up.

Got to love non genuine

Fuel pump rewired, popped a switch inline for if I did have an accident and the inertia switch didn't work, and if I leave it in any seedy places I can just knock the fuel pump off so they can't really get very far. It'll stall them longer while the alarm's going. It looks really obvious were it is on the picture, but it's tucked nicely under my seat.

I have a new rear subframe, and a pair of rear adjustable camber/tracking brackets coming tomorrow hopefully :) Should be interesting to drive again with the rear end set up correct and the solid mounted front subby!

Really really nice, something similar to how mine will look. Is that boot fg or metal?

The boot lids FG, tisn't toooo bad, fit is quite good but its very weak, can't really have things in the boot anymore, as last time I did it cracked the FG.

Recent progress....
