Thanks for the comment, though wheels shouldn't need spacers as the back wheels have a great offset, but we will see. As for Magazines, are there any about anymore? Seems to be a dying business now the Internet is in full swing. There are certainly no other R334's like this as the design is totally a one off for now.

There's Banzai and Japanese Performance. Think both would be interested in featuring it once it's finished.

edit

Just forwarded the link to this thread to a guy on my FB that does freelance stuff for Banzai.

Excellent, I know Banzai is still about, but would be happy for any magazine to do a feature. Cars all painted now, just waiting for it to bake in the oven and fully assemble it.

Here we go, love it to bits, sexy beast she is! Shame it's raining or some nice pictures of the blue pearl coming through would be nice. Lots of pictures to upload later but here's two for now.

That really is great and I love how pleased with himself the fella stroking the car is!!

I have to agree on the wheels though, I think they need a lighter colour just to make them stand out more, maybe steel grey. That said, I am sure it would take even better pictures in daylight so its possible that we don't get the full impact from the indoor shots.

I still bloody love it though and good on you for pushing on and doing something that you really want just because you canbiggrin

Thanks for the comment, we have decided to remove the front splitter and go for a more subtle carbon splitter which should improve the lines at the front. The splitter will be on Ebay soon. As for the wheels, we are fighting for some good weather to take some outdoor pictures, but unfortunately we can't control the Britain's crap climate!. More pics to follow soon.

Ahh probably the only thing I don't like about the car and your already planning on changing it (not that it matters what I think haha)

Other than the splitter I love this, can't wait to see outside pics


ETA: standard interior?

Just discussed the interior with an firm last night. Just need to buy some seats and we will start the inside. Should be a month or so before you see any progress.

The job is cracking and all the lines are excellent, but there is something odd with the back wheels, just too small I think (As in the arches are too small).

Need a pic of a real one to compare I guess.

Top work, I like it :-) Although I'd prefer the rear section with the logo on to be white to match the rest of the car. Never much of a R33 fan looks wise but always thought the R34 was great, so big improvement as far as I'm concerned.

Looking forward to seeing it, what colour are you going for on the interior (bearing in mind on a white car the correct answer is red)

It may just be me but it looks like the rear light clusters are a different shade the the rest of the car or dont have as much pearl effect to them?
