You lucky lucky lucky bastard. She's a stunner.
Good luck with the rest of the project. And I think there would be a market for those kits over here should you decide to go a step further and produce them

to Rab: Hmmm.. She's really true love, kind, great... I'm lucky
And for my bodykit: When I finished my car as soon as I can I'll make the arches for everybody who ask me. Maybe I would build mould for both bumpers but Im not bussinesman. My car is my hobby.

to Mixja: I know.. but rear wheel drive only with Cossie. It's too much of work and I working on this car for 3 years. First CVH engine was broken and this is sufficient. My friend has vehicle body of MkIV with no engine, arms, gearbox... mayby I'll build rear wheel drive car from that. I think that I'll spend for my car about 6000-7000 GBP, It's more then my clear profit per year. Maybe It's only car I'll ever build.

to Mixja: Yeah.. I would made a double engine car. First Zetec turbo in front, second Zetec turbo on rear. 4x4 double engine hardcore Mk4 with 400BHP. I'm only common guy who like cars and I'll try to make some differents on normal car. My girlfriend is really placable but she prefer nice habitation. She doesn't want to spending a lot of money for old car. It's non-reversible business. When I'll finished it I'll try to use my car as illustration of my ability and maybe I'll made some other cars for money. My dream was making a car like K-1 Attack but It's more impossible than old Ford. When I'll be a big boy I'll realize my dream.

This week I made some pics in the garage. I have complete all arches now and Im working on next parts - front bumper, frame, to the end of month I would have the lights... What do You think now?
Today I bought new IC. It's from our truck with diesel engine but it looks pretty good. Hope that it will be working.
And last thing - I got first part of a frame (roll cage).

More pics of rollcage. Now I have bonded the welds by epoxy metal glue and I need to grind to size and spread silver paint. I thinking about cutting the braces between metal arc and fittings next to rear dumpers and building the connection by smaller pipe in the pipe of rollcage. Locking by strenght bolts as the diagonal part. It will be better for dismantling but worse security. What do You think?

Thanks guys 
RST Appie: I know this car and I really like it but now It looks little bit different. It has wider front arches, rollcage, interior in beige colour and RS2000 turbo engine about 260HP. Look here: http://www.hechts-tuningschmiede.de/

I was busy last week but I hope that the lights are coming this week. And I have ordered side mirrors from Yamaha YZF600. Do You like that?

I am NEVER normally a fan of bodykits but I think I may of been converted!
That looks like it has serious potential!
I love the fact you are doing all the work yourself and not a cheque book hero!
Keep up the good work, I will watch with interest!

brammer: yes.. I will make some similar hole like the Evo but the bottom of the bumper will have the same shape like my sideskirts (front bumper will have the same shape too) and I will have the exhaust in this hole. It will be looking better than now.

Small update
Sorry for the bad pics.
This is a good known tail wing for RS Turbo. This is the normal part for You but I saw only about 2 pcs in our county and this one is mine
This is the tail light in comparing with original. In real it has a similar width but a sloping side. Original light has vertical side.
This is the front light. It has similar shape like original but Its not perfect. The light is smaller then original so the fitting would be pretty easy.
And last things are the parts of rusty BMW E30 tail. Id like to find a better one but for idea its ok.
