Lowered look

I'm not a photography expert at all, but someone one told me that if you use a flash on your camera when it's really sunny, the bits that are in shaddow may show up better. Might be worth a try so that the wheels and arches show up more.

[wayneb1408]

Progress so far. Arches will be rebuilt lower

Few shots of how the car is looking so far. Still lots to do yet.

Much nicer with the smoothed front wings.

Few shots of where it is. Currently working on the rear end at the moment. Should have some updates soon. Going to remove the roof hump and rebuild the arches last. Then go over the whole car doing final prep and ensure all lines are correct etc.

you sir, are a lunatic, and for that you have my respect

I like it, will look great when done.

Looks brilliant, have any plans for under the bonnet? a supercharger might go well with it.

[wayneb1408]

Thanks. Will be putting a v6 or v8 in the demo car.

[wayneb1408]

Here you go guys.

SEAT rear light clusters? Interesting, fits well!

I was hoping for a Sagaris style side/rear exit exhaust...

[wayneb1408]

VW UP lights. Same car but the lamp lense is different. Wasnt easy. Had to refabricate the whole rear end to take them.

Sorry to dissapoint with the exhaust but im trying to keep the styling different to the sagaris as im not building a replica.

[VladD]

I never liked the side exhaust or the louvres on the front wings, so I think what you're building is an improvement styling wise.

Front end update. Just need to reshape bonnet slope and make lips on all the cut outs.

[VladD]

Great stuff.

[wayneb1408]

Car now lowered and still has 90mm ground clearance from chassis rails to the ground. Rear tyres have been changed to 40 profile fronts will get that as well. So now i know the arches are filled out i can get on with finishing it and getting the moulds done.
