Apart from a vento front, not much happened to this really since Edition38. A few little bits here and there and a debate on whether to spray or wrap.

Annoying as it is, the intercooler needs to be remounted to allow a standard front bumper to fit on perfect (without modification to it). Once this is sorted and slight modifications to the wings, should have all the panels fitted right. Hoping to get all the body tidied up and get it sprayed/wrapped by end of the year.

In which time, the splits should be together (yes, still waiting on dishes!).

Potential roof and interior upgrade in the meantime.


Anyway, here is a few pics:







Vento front end went on. Had to change the loom in the headlights as the vento lights had the long rectangular plug, not the square/rounded plug to match the loom on the car. Bit of soldering, but good as OEM:











And got my adaptors for the splits now:

Hopefully my car will be on the road again soon, I only have the alternator, sump and power steering pump to paint and then everything can be built back up! When is the next meet?
