Couldn´t post this in project page, if an admin could change it to project folder, I would apreciate it. Thanks

I´ve had my coupe for a month and a few days now, he is in desperate need of TLC. This is what I got him so far, some of the parts are already assembled, some are still going to be assembled. Any sugestions are always welcome (Styling can´t be to everyone´s taste, so... it will only have to suit it´s owner...me tongue ) The spoilers are still in the paint shop and they are, "boot included" Cadamuro designs. Here´s some pictures.

click to enlarge Ported intake manifold to get ceramic coated and thermal gasket

click to enlarge higher flow injectors

click to enlarge New Aluminium Intercooler

Looks like your settling in a long rolling project.

Your car will certainly look different after the rear spoilers are added!

And after all of the work your planning.

For now, stock shocks and novitec rear springs. The rear springs are already fitted and the car is leveled, just as I wanted it. Don't know if I'm going to assemble the novitec front ones.

The roads are not fine lol, they seem the Somme after the battle in some points, but if it is custom made It wasn´t me, it already came this way, and didn´t even noticed it, until you pointed it out. smile

I'm rather amazed (and envious) of the fact that there is no sign of rust anywhere in this pic smile

Here in Portugal don't use salt on the roads, we don't have ice or snow problems, that is the main reason of having no rust (that and most of the parts beeing replaced lol).

Nop, just ink in one of the blades, probably a part of the calibration process.

Don't really know what is wrong with JBT. Just that he had to stay in the hospital, don't even know if he is still there or not.

I'm not one for body kits myself, but if you're going to have a rear wing, that one looks nicely finished. Good looking car! Well done.
