That looks brilliant. Lunar grey is a superb colour
Thats coming along very nicely buddy! Good work.
So started the day early trial fitting new centre panel.
Fits OK needs more adjustment before I remake it out of fiberglass.
Even though the dash isn’t fitted yet the dash fit is solid with new panel in!
Then we set about fitting rear aerocatches to the bonnet a job I’ve put off for ages…so towed the car to father in laws for electrics Lil
Fitted catches only to find that it then sat waaaaay too high on the car.
So we had to fabricate and rivit on some basic “L” brackets in order for the pins to sit a lot lower as the thread pitch stops below the top of the wing
This solved the problem! Yay! Also has made it a lot stronger!
Then set about mounting the new washer bottle in the cabin.
Yay! Finally, almost there.
Looks great too! But please make sure you pump that rear offside tyre up a bit
I was talking to a chap called Andy yesterday about you, he knows you. He has a BMW and is from the BMW 5 Series forums. Told him I have the Williams as well and you'd know my Clio.
Small world!
Getting there now!
But that bonnet fits a bit poor - is it on spacers at the front??
I love the grey-red colour combination.
Andy Ran? e60 M5? Gotta be him!
Hes a legendary mate of mine! Had more cars than even you! (elises, golfs, GTRs x4, m3's imprezza's S15s m5's)Where you meet him?
look at second to last pic the tyre has been amended! (its a slow-puncture dont need it repaired just yet)
its nearly there!! Your right it is! But it was a cheap bonnet you get what you pay for. I suspect with some more fiddling on latch height it wold fit better but its fiberglass mis shaped and warped over the years.It looks much better than when i got it! PMSL..may go carbon in years to come!
Thanks muchly! Wish i could take credit for it but i lifted it straight off an R26R megane!
