lots of work left to do
any pics under the skin!?
There will be soon.....not had chance to do any work on it since the body.
I like the look of these. Would like to have a good sniff around one and with V12 Merc power, that will be bonkers!!
Looking real good 
They be some big wheel arches and I see what you mean about the bigger front splitter. I already have trouble with my WLR’s big nose & splitter
trying to get the thing in and out of the garage and driveway. Can imagine yours being even more of a laugh. Mind you other drivers never seem to get
mad as I block the road while shoving lumps of wood under the front wheels and doing a 99 point turns. They are either comically bemused or totally
taken aback by the sight of the car. Not looking forward to the ferry ramps or speed humps though 
For me those rear aches finish the back of the car far better than the originals but not so sure about the fronts, probably just the pic angle, would
be nice to see some more views to get a better idea of the latest mods / looks.
You got any idea of your final power output yet. I’m still fighting scary set up issues when I dial in 290-330BHP. It’s all much more manageable at
180-220BHP. I’m keeping the next phase of the tuning parts in their boxes until things get sorted and road legal. Due to go in for some more set up
work soon so hopefully things will get better coz I’m running out of shreddies
Once that’s done it’s IVA time gulp!!
Keep up the fantastic work!
Love it can't wait to see videos of it running

have a look for posts by nitram89 (? i know its nitram something) he developed a hydraulic suspension system to fit on coilover shocks, between the spring and spring platform, or perhaps it replaced the platform, to allow raising the suspension. something i'll be looking at when my car's legal

FYI chaps it's nitram38
Yay Go for the 500BHP But get there with a very gentle right foot 
So far I've found a hedge row and ditch that I'm sure were just not there before
This thing is real twitchy when the wheel alignment and camber are even slightly off. Also up to now I have had to have the ride height to high as my
sump was at risk. With the new sump now fitted I'm able to get things lowered and get a softer set up. I'm just waiting for my little
helpers to have some time so I can get things tweaked using some professional kit & know how.
Ahh light units, they do fit. Honest! With a little edge trimming and the use of long M5 bolts with mud washers to bend the unit into shape &
position. Be brave they seem to bend and not break.
Thanks for the info Humbug.
