this bit has been cut so the filter could sit near the fog light so it gets a direct source of air

Wow mate thats looking good, does the panels line up well?

How long do you expect to it ready to drive?

looks like you are seeing the end of the tunnel asi-well done mate looks ok with the bumper on,could be a sleeper if it wasnt for the bonnet - i think thats a nice thing about steves project-it looks like a standard car at first glance


My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 08-03-2018

all panel line up as normal only loss is the bonnet catch so bonnet pins or something along those lines will be needed. also the carbon fiber bonnet has been ordered so should be here soon. also waiting for slim radiator fans which should be here tomorrow. the injectors came last week all cleaned so they are ready to be put in soon.

all we are waiting for now is piping coming as soon as that arrives the manifolds will be made and the downpipe will be made.

should be ready to drive in about end of may
