Hi all, after getting shot of my 5 door earlier this year me and 500 (Adam) Started building this also help from Gtajon too, I have had it on the road now for a good few months and loving every minute of it I have a load of pictures of the build which i will make a second journal out of but i'll just put some gallery pics on for now. CHEERS ADAM! Spec: 143vvc. rover turbo lsd box awaiting fitment. Icon superchip awaiting fitment. Janspeed manifold. sportex exhaust system. JR Air filter. MGTF Front subframe. MGTF Front suspension. Metro Gti Front and Rear ARBS (polybushed). MGF Front Brakes. Individualised rear cans. TD Qualifiers with Toyo Proxies. Smoothed front and rear bumpers. Gti side skirts moulded into turbo arches. twin fogs. silverstone interior with custom door cards. black carpets. black interior plastics. Red seat belts. Electric windows. 150mph clocks. Momo corse steering wheel. infinity basslink 2 with infinity kappa components. And probably more but will update as i remember lol cheers! all constructive critisism welcome. Oh and I know the paint needs a really good flatting and buffing.

And this is how it started a few months back when all the work started on the back of adams BEAST lol.

looks very nice, i like how you've smoothed off the bumper inserts, gives the car a sleeker look

and lol did you have a go in the car while he was towing it? looks like fun

really like the bumpers, it gives the car a totaly different appeal.

get rid of the rear wiper and it'll look even better with the smoothed rear bumper onĀ

nice work on the front end. That looks sweet!

was the front bumper (in simple form) just a case of sand down, filler, smooth off and paint up? Looks the dogs dogs bollocks!! How did you come about the number plate? Love it dude, well finished.

I think the bumpers give it a slightly more up to date look.

Really like it but agree it needs a splitter and maybe the front numberplate moving down a bit.

that looks sweet as mate! looks like a lot of work has gone into this. but like some of the others said, lose that rear wiper and that will look real smooooth .. dont think it needs spoiler tho coz that would just complicate things. also like what you done with the front bumper grill, would it be legal to put that sticker number plate on the bonnet like on some classic cars do ya reckon? been wondering that for a while
