A few people don't like the look of it, but really i didn't build it for style. And i think it will look good when it is all together. It was the easiest and quickest design i could come up with at the time. I don't think i will be getting much done for a while now as i am moving house and need to build a garage at the new house. Also i don't have any money left. I just need to pay for the motec $3000, the tuning $1000, finish the c.f body and aero about $2000, misc bits $2000. The motor is pretty much done now, so it will be waiting for me to save up to pay for the computer and tuning and then i can throw it in the car.

They get the real deal, usually the best parts, and their builds are always jaw dropping. They don't skimp, they don't budget, they just blow insane amounts of money on cars or don't mod them at all.
It is very badass and makes for very impressive project threads

It will have about 270 - 300rwhp untill i save up the money to put a set of dog gears in it. The motor is built to take big boost, but it is limited to the gearbox strength. The old 1.6 had about 200rwhp. Doesn't sound like much more, but i am sure it will be noticed. If i get bored we can always put more power in it and see how long the turbo 6 speed lasts.

I made the trunk mould, pics are trunk prepped, gelcoated, laminated, and trimmed and ready for use.
The othe 2 pics are the c.f trunk with a frame made from corecell and laminated some c.f over it to stiffen it up.
I have started working on the door, i decided to make it flat on the inside. Just need to sand all around the sides and give it a couple of coats of hi-fill primer, sand it and it will be ready to mould.

Trunk, still needs trimming and i have to wash off the pva.
I weighed it too - It is 2.86lb's with the internal frame on, and it still needs trimming around the edges..... So i would think finished weight would be 2.5 lb's. And it is amazingly stiff now, it is almost imposiible to twist it, and definately can not bend it.
