Don't want to sell it, but everything is for sale at the right price :dunno:

If I got any hassle may need you to go there as a stand over man lol. They seem pretty don mega though.

No worries if I'm needed I'm there

And I don't even want to get into my feelings regarding eBay

Thanks to concept 7 for making me a OEM glass bonnet so I can start on the next big body mod ;)

And one thing I must say these guy know how to pack a bonnet first class service :)

Car is looking really good bud:D I think that rear bumper is probably one of a few which actually suit the car. Are you thinking of getting the rear arches to match the rear bumper which you can just see in one of the pics you posted?

Loving the fish eye lens shots, have just got a fish eye converter for our camera

Thank you very much bud I do plan on somthing for the arches just not made my mind up yet

Need to start work in my bonnet and finish my base map then I will move onto more bodywork :)

Hi guys been a while now I've had a lot on and still mountins of work still to do, work is been crazy this summer along with that we had both of our severs attacked which took all my spare time to sort.

I've still got the shop online and secure but the main site had to be removed and restarted from the start so for now please only use www.topgearstockport.co.uk while I rebuild a better site on the old www.topgearstockport.com sever

Anyways

Onto what little work I've done to the Rex over the past month

Mapping is going well and I'm now at 12psi ready for the water meth at 13psi but..... Just not had time to get out the shop to get my meth so can't go any higher than 12psi

I'm also planning another nurburg trip at the start of October so I need to get my car fully ready for then.

My need to do list for the ring is

Tyres
New stronger brake lines and new rear braided lines
Brake bias valve to remove the stock one from my system
If time permits finish the last part of the flat floor
Will also have to do somthing with my screamer pipe

As a side note I ended putting a large 8" round silencer at the rear now my exhaust is 88db @ 3000 rpm :)

Onto what little I've done

If you remember concept 7 made me OEM style hood the quality was 100% and seemed a shame to cut the bugger up but hay it's what I do for the greater good

I like to work quick but due to work and the above this has taken me a lot of time to get to this stage just wish we had more days in the week

The planed cut lines
