as you can see its still alittle bad but currently it has had a full spray today besides doors as i have got 2 better condition straight and rust free ones from CGB in telford

i have had the standard speedlines dipped in acid then sprayed anthracite and the interior has corberu recliners with sparco harnesses and rear strut.

engine is staying standard and i plan to over the winter rebuild it making it look mint. it also has a front omp strut

the full car is dropped on 35mm konis with poly bush mounts

so its cost me a small fortune but will post up pics tomorrow when i take my new doors down :)
hope you like it

Looking forward to the end results - looks like you're really commited! :)

Just a question on the rear arches (I know nowt about the R5's btw). Are they normally that 'high' up before the rear arch skirt goes on?
