Car in Primer

Quick Update:

Car is in Primer (pics thanks to Brendan)and half prepped ready to be resprayed in the next week or two, and from the pics below you can see how phat its looking with the wide guards :)

Also have recieved word the engine is half complete, meaning the bottom end has been machined, blue printed as well as crank, rods and pistons in and all as one. The top end will be completed next year, so when the car is back painted, It should be ready to go in after Marcus has completed all of the wiring.

Note: The bonnet on this car is not going on the car, it was used to line up the panels etc, as belongs Johann - who is a customer of C-Red. The bonnet will be decided in the coming year.

Next updated should have pics of engine and also painted car.

also would like to say Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone!

Panel'd now Paint

Today I got the news that the car had finished with Tom down south and now off to the panel shop in Canningvale, Tom put the 30mm front and 50mm rear wide fenders together aswell as the Genuine M sports II body kit on it, and got it all ready to be towed (from gerrin!!) to paint shop.

Its going a nice standard Black, as seen on BMW and Audi's.

Now with this at the panel shop it has the main job nearly done. Engine building has started and isnt long away.

Next update should give some preety good progress on whats happening, also pics of the car as is, and on tow truck below.

Cheers
