Christmas has come early!

[SlackBlevens]

My GTR kit has just arrived - yippee!

Having read these forums for about 6 months now it's finally time to ask a few questions:

1. I fancy non-standard wheels - anyone got pictures/info of wheels that would fit? Those dymags look pretty cool, do they cost much? I bet they do!

2. LuckyP, I like your dash and side carpets - how did you hide the edge of the carpet upto the luggage compartments?

Congratulations!!!!

What spec are you going for?

He's going for the non std wheel and side carpet option.

Nice one chap, enjoy!!

I'll have a wheel price shortly for the Dymags. The carpet goes up and over in one piece and the joint is trimed in carbon angle. Advise would be to get a radiused edge on that angle cos it shows no mercy to shins!!

The spec is cleverly hidden in my login name!!!

Would love a photo of your carpet work Mr LuckyP, cheers.

[SlackBlevens]

Should have waited for the photo to load before posting - duh?

Who did the carbon work? It looks great. I would really appreciate the chance to look at your interior (that sounds so wrong!) some time, I live near Stratford upon Avon - are you far away?

By way of initiation you are obliged to post a pic of your garage/laboratory and said delivered kit.

Over to you Darren!

Maybe this will work?

[donkeasy]

Have fun, you made the right choice

[LuckyP]

You're in.

Ahh...box heaven. Takes me back. Enjoy.

Sod the Ultima, I'm more interested in that Mk 2 Escort.

Is it yours, is it a runner and what's under the bonnet?

[SlackBlevens]

It's not my escort I'm afraid, I'll find out whats in it though!

Can't wait to get started - I have to admit a friend is doing most of the work, that's not to say I won't tighten the odd nut or two!

Lots of things to think about:- switches, gauges, dash ... gotta make it more refined inside!

Engine wise it would be criminal not to have the 650hp LS7 over the 565hp for only a few thousand $$$ more!!!

LP - Can I pop over & look at your car then or has my eagerness scared you off!!!
