Right nearly there now, can\'t believe how quick but then again how stressfully looooooong this whole process has taken lol - was just over 4 months ago it was just a bare shell and I wondered how it was going to turn into a car....
 
Anyway back to the update - started bolting the bodykit on - Big thank you to Stuart @ KN Solutions for taking my lovely new bodykit and copying it for me so we\'ve got a mould "if" I break it lol
 
Also got a new Carbon bonnet from Japspeed :thumbs:
 
Just waiting for my BGW now :p
 
Few pics with the kit placed on and waiting to go to the bodyshop for paint.

Speak to Craig Taylor - helped me out alot and I\'d say has probably done 99% of the V8 conversions in the UK lol

car looks epic. im dying to see what those arches would look like with propper wheel fitment, you\'d have an awesome agressive stance with some 18\'s on the back and 17\'s on the front.

only thing i don\'t like is that rear bumper, i recon a diffuser would be much better. But each to his own. the car is still absolutely awesome!

Where do you get those head lights from?? I think this car is awesome, combining two of the best motoring pieces, an Rx7 body and V8 muscle. Brilliant.

Was going to go 18\'s but the price of tyres is ridiculous and I will need about 3 brand new sets atleast for every event $$$$
 
Had a diffuser to fit but when we went to fit it realised it was going to get in the way when using the jack and if we needed to change the diff at an event again it would get in the way! practical thinking unfortunitly creates issues.
