    Car finished

    Hi Guys, got my car finished after 3 years of hard graft and about 3 times my budget. But I think it looks well, what do you guys think. Here's some pics.

    Yeh, the bay looks awesome.

    The wheels spoil it for me personally, as it's got so much OE going in it seems a shame it not have OE wheels to finish it off.

    Looks fantastic mate, you have the look I strive to achieve!

    A quick question regarding the photo of your bay, as it's a question I've never got an answer to. Where does the second pipe out of your air filter box go to...the pipe that seems to lead somewhere beneath the heat shield?

    To a metal bracket which is attached to the turbo bolts which is the hot air feed.

    Looks beautiful, it's not finished though, they are never finished, there is always something to fettle.

    Stunning. I aspire to cars like yours when I'm planning my own project. Looks like my old R5 did when I bought it in 1999. Great job you've done, would be great to see some more pics of the build.
