but after he started we rethink it and decided to take the composite ones due it seems like they fit very well AND we want to loose some weight of the car. Finally the rest of the body parts arrived (front bumper, rear spoiler, grill, Morette), so Guido can start

Now i have to look for some adjustable WRC mirrors to complete the look

regards and thx for your comments

Hallo Enrico

remember to remove all that thick soundproofing to get rid of a lot of weight, the car will be louder but certainly lighter.

keep up the good work.

Kenny.

thx for your kind words guys

@Kenny
soundproofing material is gone

, i don't care about sound intensity in my car
changed my mind again

so i think there won't be a date for the body shop to paint my car in the next future. Looking around to get some numbers for composites parts...
THX again Kenny for drop me in the right direction

regards

Enrico

Good update! Although I think you've got the WRC rear spoiler mounted in the wrong place!

Keep up the good work mate!

After a few (more) weeks absent due my holidays and not very interested in my own car the story goes on now ....

Waiting a few weeks for the cage and it finally arrived (please note it is not weld in yet, only positioned in the car to see how it will look one day)

will have a rethink about the X-bars due it is a pain to get in the car or out of it...

That's all for now

Due to other priorities and a lack of time you will only find pics from new parts over the next weeks at this place. Hope you all enjoy anyhow.....

so here we go............

tunnel liner

roof vent kit

airbox cover (not sure if i use it, depending on advise by my engine builder)

PS: THX for your kind words Kenny!!!!
