Nice that, seems to have taken the years well.
As mentioned 400bhp is a lot for it to handle without spending far more that the car is worth on just the bottom end! I've got a preface classic running a dyno'd 359bhp which has had all the internals done on a centre decked block but its still...
Small update as not been on here since the forum went down.
I managed to get both wings in the right colour and have rebuilt the front end, so the car is drivable.
Rear quarter is now smooth and is in the shop getting its base coat and lacquer, next up will be the roof which is a pretty easy job.
Don't see the point if you already own a 360 or a ps3 for that matter. From what i gather it does NOTHING a normal 360 will do with a wifi adaptor.
Do we really think they have solved the rrod problem? I'll stick to my normal 360 and ps3 thanks but might get the cam thing for the kids.
Yes thats pretty much the idea but i only use them on vans where they have dented outwards with stuff hitting the inside. The idea is to heat the metal then cool it super quick so the metal goes back to its memory shape. This won't work 100% due to the metal stretching but will help get it near...
Maybe i should clear up the 'rolled' part. The car went through a hedge and as it slid to a stop fell side on into a drainage ditch but only caught the very edges of the roof.
I drove this car back 65 miles on trade plates with no problems at all. Ok so it had a couple of steel wheels on it and...
The car is intended as a run around. Come such time as it does get sold then yes its not recorded and will of been repaired so why should it go for peanuts?
Well seeing as i'm being put in a corner marked 'bad person for fixing a car' i will take photos of the rear quarter repair in stages while its being done.
I simply do not understand why a lot of peeps would cut out a galvo rear quarter on a mono style shell and then either weld in a new none...
Always love Forums for a project thread, its always the case that some people draw an opinion of how good other peoples work won't be without even knowing the person or skills involved.
I owned a bodyshop for years and know 100% that the rear quarter can be done without a new none galvo one welding in.
I do not own a bodyshop now days but am self employed in the motor trade and so parts have cost very little and time is my own, so hence i'm not worried about the damage or...
Quick update.

Front grill
Front bumper plastic inserts
Headlight
Pass side front wing (in the post)
Repaired pass seat with new airbag
Next up will be to get the front end on when the wings...
