Cleaning up some panel work.
Fibreglass.
Some stress cracks, so been sorting that.
It will be a different colour soon enough.

Paint.
Either satin black, or satin gunmetal grey.
Yet to decide.
Sanding/smoothing, and prepping at moment.

Noice. Should put some vids up when it's all together! I forget (though perhaps it is obvious) if you are running an aftermarket ecu? Keen on seeing what difference the ITB's make, power and sound wise.

Link G4 Xtreme.
Will get vids, upload to YouTube/Vimeo, and link.
Still a little way off, but doing what I can when time permits.

I reckon satin gunmetal would look great on it.

We'll see.
If not, there's always a Whipple W100AX or W140AX

How much power are you hoping for?
The 6A12 Mivec engine is considered a pretty efficient engine to start with, I think the most you're going to see out of this engine (without supercharging) is 140-150 rwkw.
Go on, put a blower on it, you know you want to

Sorry guys.. Not too much to report of late. Still going, quite slowly. Doing some body repairs/mods/updates, repaint.
