How is the project coming along? Hope the new members of staff are working out. Hello New guys are great addition to the team really pleased with them... Haven’t had much time for the roadster as just overwhelmed with work at the moment looks like a bigger workshop may be needed  Had a meeting last week with the team and decided that we really need to get it finished for the up coming shows Parts have been ordered for it and the rest of the panel work should e completed in the next couple of weeks so should have some pic's up soon Here’s our latest project M4X please leave me some feed back on it All hand built in house only the bumpers and side skirts are fibre rest was all made from sheet metal http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/wraith888/...

http://s131.photobucket.com/albums/p305/wraith888/...i think it looks great from the front and side although the front looks like it should be lowered slightly so the wheels fill the arches a bit better, but the rear light panel, lights and exhausts i must say really dont do it for me along with the interior. perhaps its the trims around the rear pipes or maybe the positioning of them or both. and whos max?

This car was built to order so alot was done to the customers taste INTRAX built the suspension and they are sending a new set of front springs as the front is too high. I also agree with the interior that will be redone soon must disagree with you about the pipes think they'r awsome Cant say who Max is.......

http://redirectingat.com/?id=1044X509854&url=h...Looks like it has taken a lot of talent to get to that stage, but its not to my taste really. As a customer i have asked for some stupid things in my younger days though and the customer is always right when they are paying!! Was that a GTO??

Almost finished the Marco? Looking good so far.
What have you done to the engine or is it standard?

This is your creation and you know i can't wait to see it in the flesh. I have numerous years of experiance and modding to FTO's. I think this creation is OUTSTANDING. However if i can make an observation? They call the FTO the poor mans Aston Martin. Yours will look like a soft top version. However in your sketch above it shows a Veilside front bumper. I think these look good with the side skirts and rear spoiler but on a soft top version i think it may over power the front look of your car? Have you thought about a HKS front bumper mate? Much more subtle but very sleek. I can get a pic if you need to see one.
Just my opinion mate. Hope you don't mind?
Vic uh hey, you say you have loads of experience modding ftos, so i just wanted to ask you, could you use the standard mivec v6 you get in gpx/ gpvrs and convert to awd/rwd? if so, what would the cost be?
