Yea, the wrap on the fender doesn't look right to me, it doesn't line up with the bonnet :p
What is the first thing you are going to do on it?

yes im not sure ether about the wrap on the sides still deciding im trying to find 17s for it at the moment next week the proper intake should be done going to take out the front and rear seat and change them early jan its getting a major service timing belt adjust lifters rocker seals plugs leads etc and some tints thats the list so far but there is more minor things to do but main thing is getting it serviced and running 110% so i can get back down on the track and get some good times

as you all know i striped my fto :( was sad but had to be done as my fto had been hit from so many times and most of the car was bog so it was striped out and instead of letting such a good motor and manual box go i did a conversion.
motor gearbox climate control front and rear control arms swaybars front and rear brakes+booster+master cluster full complete wiring loom front to rear as well as a lot of other parts from the fto were reused and dropped into this project. everything under the bonnet and under the car is fto pretty much the only original thing from the car is the shell. everything was cleaned painted before it went into the car. it starts runs and is been driven etc and is an absolute handful to keep on the road i knew the car was a lot lighter then then the fto but it drives nothing like an fto so much torque and power :) power to weight makes a huge difference.
the car is a project and is far from complete to where i want it but thought id share it with you guys

i took 100s of pics but here is just a few



p.s the cannon is temporary

Nice work.

I'm glad the cannon is temporary.
I hope the same for the piping work under the IRS beam, for the hektik muffler angle. :lol:
