More pics please
I'd never do it again! It's been a real nightmare and the quality of the bodykit available her in the UK was absolutely shocking. Everything required some rectification/modification to get to fit properly. The main problem being the fitting of the rear wings!

I've hundreds of pictures of the project as it developed so if you want to see anything specific, let me know.

I see the holes you drilled for the flares, what type of clips did you use to mount the flares? Or how are they mounted?

I tried to do it as per the originals which although it took for ever to get right, it does look good.

I drilled through the outer skin in the same locations as the originals and then made up plates with nuts welded on to them so the wings could be correctly bolted from the outside.

I've spent the last few weeks trying to sort out the interior.
Everything has been taken out and I've been busy getting everything cleaned up or replaced.

I've fitted new speakers all around and put new speaker cable in along with a Becker Traffic Pro as I wanted a built in sat-nav but due to where the stereo opening is, I couldn't use a pop-up head as it would foul the gear lever.
I've got an OMP suede steering wheel with yellow 'centralising' marker so I've taken the gauges out and fitted early 944 yellow gauges so it should all match up quite nicely.

The interior came back from the trimmers only to fine they'd forgot to put the coloured beading where I wanted it so they've had to go back and be re-done, I was gutted!
