Title: Almost there!
Post by: AtomicRex on November 05, 2005, 11:35:30 PM
Well having picked the car up back in September, it was supposed to go to Dragon for a few mods!  Namely the brakes!!

The car was over heating a little, and as the brakes werent going to get on the car before the ring trip I decided to let it stay there a little longer.

so pics of before it went in and now

Still loads to do, and yes I know it hasnt got a bumper fitted at the moment, I thought it looked good without it!

thanks for the interest :)  Its great to finally see some results!

The front bumper is the one on the shelf, and is the same as used on gadj\'s car.  They are working on the engine at the moment, and as it wouldnt fit on the trailer with the bumper on it was safer to take it off!

The brakes are KAD 356mm using 6 pot billet calipers.  I think they look amazing!  I just hope they look that good after a trip to the Ring ;)

When I get it back I will put up some pics of the interior, thats changed more than the exterior!!

The pictures dont really do it justice, it looks absolutely gorgeous in the flesh. Its a porsche colour. The weld in cage etc will be completed this week, so i\'m sure John will post up more pics then.
