so its been in the body shop a while now being tidied up.
2 main things;
1. The spoiler wont be fitted when sprayed I want to see how it looks with out one. I will still have the spoiler work done though so its ready If i
want to fit it.
2. I've had to make compromises on some lines of the door because of the fibreglass, I now officially hate fibreglass. The important ones like
the door lines from the side will look good, but some others wont be perfect. I had a choice of doing a high build up and risk cracking or a lower
build up but more stable. There is little point in building up a large amount if the risk of cracking is higher, id rather it lasted. dissapointing,
but not the end of the world.

great work.
What colour will it be? some colours show bodywork imperfections/poor shutlines worse than others IMO.
I'd like to think you are doing it this colour:

Afraid not, ive been trying to tone it down as much as possible without going for silver. Too which so far everyone just laughs at when I say
i'm toning it down
But it will be the colour below which in the sun pops a bit but i think looks great on a cloudy day as well (which is important!)

vents are in and the car is to be sprayed this weekend (shows rally vent as vented air for cockpit). I am going spoilerless...at least for now
Picked up the splitter and headlight covers which have been hydro dipped.

Looks fantastic!
Really like that colour actually. And the hydrodipping looks good, is it expensive?

I cant say its cheap because its not but I dont find it overly expensive to be honest.
Few things that effect cost, mainly prep work and size. If its a nice square shape you'll use less film, if its a long and thin piece (like a
splitter I had done) it uses alot more film and costs alot more for what is a piece with a similar surface area.
You can get kits to do it at home and i actually think you'd get good results doing it at home on simpler smaller bits.

I reckon that's going to look pretty damn stunning when bolted back together!!  
As it's 'just' MR2 running gear, I'm good mates with a very knowledgeable MR2 tuner if you need any advice to make it go as
well as it looks? 550bhp and sub 11s 1/4?

300bhp in a car about a ton should be enough however I want to do the v6 conversion at some point, so will be about 320bhp but with better torque
range....ohh and the noise

The V6's do make a cracking road car, better than the Turbo in my opinion. I put a 3vzfe in a Rev1, that was a fun car

Looking like a useable car now.

Im much happier there are a few bits im not happy with, mainly the rear clam shell fit, but the company has made that fit better with alterations for
everyone else...lucky them lol one of the downsides of being first.
on another note.....I wont be the only one anymore as a guy i know through my old Supra days has ordered as well (note the different rear and extra
side clips.)

latest bits have been;
* Change of clutch on driveway - NEVER AGAIN!!!
* Change of coilovers to Meister R from BC racing - much better ride!
* laser cut badge for the front
Did 200mile+ journey in it to brooklands supercar day. Car ran fine, although I lost boost on the way home and found the actuator arm had come off
the wastegate so could be a missing retainer clip, all back on now.
Looks like im finally getting there in terms of a reliable normal car - 900 miles now complete.

Created a video review. Gave some fancy video recording and editing a go! And some Boring narrating.
