UPDATE


Well as you all know by now the front bumper was in a right sorry state when I got the car, and after sitting outside in the rain for so long the front bumper was well rotten and past the point of being saved....

enter the new one

Totally built from scratch by the guys at Autotechnique and grafted onto a Rover 45 bumper you would be hard pressed to tell it from the original - and it's actually lighter!


UPDATE:

Fresh out of the oven!

Thats way cool!! look forward to the rest of it.

nice shame about the spoiler :p lol

Nice when will you be racing it ?

Is this the ex-display BTCC version? The one with no guts? Nice to see it hasn't been broken up.

it is indeed the spare one that didn't have an engine, but 70% of everything else is there.

It's going to be one hell of a project getting it running properly at BTCC spec with all the toys working, but it's getting there slowly.

No plans to race it yet, but that all depends on when it's finished

Looks a great project, ultimate track car!!!!
