Update

Productive weekend

Windscreens are in.

Bonnet is on although some modifications will be made for it to sit flush as its a lot thicker than steel.

And the beast has been buffed!

Only a matter of personal taste but those Adventra wheels do nothing for the car. Too heavy and truck-like but then, I hated them on the Adventra too.

As for the rest of this project. "Brilliant. Absolutely love Hothouse - together with Poison Ivy, my two favourite late model colours. And very impressed with the speed of this build.

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback.
The wheels were on the VZ that we sold to fund the build, they won't be staying on it but we haven't decided on wheels as of yet as it was one tough decision to make unless the cars built to picture them on.
We have a rough idea of black with polished alloy to suit the theme

Found a leak in the superchargers base gasket
Doesn't seem to be any cracks so have ordered a new one and some new oil due to arrive next week.

New tail lights also ordered (Black this time) not LED as I know it will throw an error
Wipers ordered

Should be on the road within two weeks

Some more progress.

Superchargers back on and everything's bolted back in. NO MORE LEAKS!
Everything seems to be working except the rear wiper but hey,,, for the work that's been done its not a bad effort.


Most of the cars finished now, few more little bits left.
Lowering and wheels will come later but main objective is to get this thing on the road by Monday

Tail lights are now black.

And the brakes are being rebuilt

The current wheels are being cleaned up the best they can until new ones are ordered

Amazing build mate. any plans for engine mods? Also can I ask, how do you get the roof rails (That black strips the roof racks bolt to) off? are the screws external or do you need to drop the headlining?
