i've just put up some new pics of my mk locost with the side panels finished ,body panels sitting on, engine in and brakes nearlydone

im off to uni at the end of this week so work on the car will be on hold to my next holiday (most likey christmas when it will be bloody cold)so theres not gonna be much work more done to the car for a while

opinions welcome (including sarcastic ones) and help choosing which of the 2 colours i should use
(the alu side panels are not stayin silver)

cheers

redeye

As long as your taking votes, I like the dark blue with the ally sides, and recommend that you give the ally a high polish

Nice car! One thing I noticed was a very nice centering of rear wheel, fender, and body. Was that right out of the MK box or do you get credit? Either way, great attention to detail

Pete

cheers

yeah any opinions welcome

i prefer the dark blue too
although i prefer to have it all one colour

the rear arches aren't fixed on, they are just held there with a G clamp
but thats where they will stay

cheers

jaspers car (dark blue) with alu sides looks rather nice.

Looking great I'm at about the same stage about to make it a rolling chassis, side panels fitted, i'll post some pics soon the colour isn't a lot different from yours, cobalt blue, the wiring is next ah..!

yeah the dredded wiring

lucky for me i have a brother in law who is the head machanic at a porche garage in cambridge.
hes especially good with electrics.

i just realised you r in scotland

where abouts r u?

though i think it might look a bit 'heavy' if its all blue-
id leave the side ally, myself.

i was thinkin of havin viper stripes like the mk indy

i think they really suit it

especially like the wheels on it

deep dish wheels will definatly be my choice

Looks good! I've always liked the darker colors on a seven gives'em a sinister look.

keep going! Fletch

That is one niiiiice car! I like the rims and Pete is right, the wheels are set just right!
excellent job.

I love the look of dark blue metallic on the topside with metallic silver sides. I think if you went all dark blue it would be too dull. Although thekafer is right about sinister! As long as you have the HP to back it up. The light colored sides make it look very sleek.

two red american cents worth.... for what it's worth....

Steve

sorry, i dont like blue, greens good

only joking car looks good and leave the alui alone, it will give you hours of pleasure polishing it and one day it will look like mine, that is if you plan to polish it every time you use the car!!!
