Talking Car is finally back from the bodyshop. Lotsa pics!!

Woohoo!!!!!!!!
Car is finally out of the bodyshop. Just got her today and had to take some pics even tho the suspension, new rims and exhaust aren't on.

Well here are the pics for now. I'll post more once she is done with this round of modifications.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. (She is kinda dusty, I know)

Nice car! Where are the body components from? I am thinking about going with the "street" GT2 look on my C2. I notice that you have the TT rockers. I would guess that this is all carbon... Did you have to cut your fenders for tire clearance? I realize that you have your stock rims on, but to run the really big rims and rubber, everyone says that you have to cut the fenders. Post pics when you get your big wheels on!

Thanks guys,

Tom- I got the widebody fenders and rockers from Better Bodies Motorsport. The fit was quite good. I got the items in Fiberglass since it is much easier to repair if anything goes wrong instead of having the carbon break into shards. Also I did have the fenders cut. If you look at Skip Sauls website he has some good pics showing about how much the fender should be cut. If you don't do this then there will definitely be rubbing issues.

ksj- Yep its a momo trek.

super- LOL...........those guys are crazy...............

Danny- Hope you drive is going well!

Princeton,
I didn't notice the mirrors were gone until I read it on your R/C model car post. They both look great!
Cheers,

Is you car stock?

Awesome looking ride man!
Can't wait to see it with new shoes & suspension!

I also have to thank you Princeton, I've been contemplating whether I should take my sunroof out or not. Contemplating is over now, and decision has been made.

Very Nice Princeton. Your car looks great.

Why did you decide on the normal CF hood instead of the flat race one? Did you also remember the strips on the front a pillars for smoothing airflow across the rain gutters? These are very good for reducing drag at high speeds...

Mark- I drive it all the time so I don't ever think a full cage will go in. The door bars being the main reason.

Ryan- w126 chassis. Running strong and reliable as ever at 240k miles.

Finn- Hahah. If only I could say its a stock GT2 EVO . Also.........OUT WITH THE SUNROOF . I'll have the heater bypass tube shipped out on tuesday.

Viperbob- Got the normal one because I still like having the fresh air scoop sometimes. Also because I don't think the flat hood seals completely which I wouldn't feel comfortable with since sometimes I drive her in the rain too. I've been looking at the rain gutter pieces but I'll have to save up for a little while as these recent mods have really made me a poorb0y.


Quick Reply: Car is finally back from the bodyshop. Lotsa pics!!
