Yes, but more body mods and the finished car will be done in Porsche Carrera White so will be done when mods are finished

Fitted the US Spec front bumper today, ok it's not finished but the rest of the bodywork isn't yet so what the heck!!!

Need a new splitter as my VR6 one is to short, so lift the one it came with on, also found two brackets that will work for my floating number plate. Need to primer and tidy up around the marker lights, but all in all you get the idea.





Hoping to sort the distance between bumper and tarmac at the beginning of next month when my imported items turn up

[SoundillusioN]

Very rarely does a mk3 cab come on here and get tarted, something different, nice progress so far.

[dubstar9]

A few more items have turned up to fit over the next couple of months.



Febi lower wishbones uprated with R32 rear bushes, Bonrath anti roll bar bushes, Eibach front camber bolts, Plastic filler and fine stopper plus an invisible aerial.



Corrado spoiler motor, relay and switch.



Main light switch with front fogs and 100w yellow fog bulbs.



Washer jets off a Chevrolet RV clipped on to the wiper arms with the washer pipes feed behind the arms.
