Would you have a rough estimation of what a street legal version of a car this caliber would cost? Just incase I ever win the lottery

This is VERY extreme Ryan, but It would prob set you back £60 - £70 grand (I'll let you work the conversion out).

A lot of that is down to the man hours unless you do a lot yourself.

Make sure and add some aluminum plates on each side of your IC/radiator setup for maximum sealing and increased airflow through that assembly. Definitely one of the baddest *** FD builds ever!!!

What are those posts for under your rocker panels? Some kind of air lifting system for the car when you're at the track??? I hope one of the leading UK car mags in planning a feature on this bad boy once you've completed your build!!

I'll be having talks with either Banzai or Jap Performance Mag soon, so hopefull a good right up and front cover should be soon.

The posts under the car were originally for a flat floor to be bolted to, these have now been removed

I'm starting to realise the importance of this car, it seriously wasn't the intention when
first starting out down the all or nothing route but it's starting to dawn on me.

Right tonights work gave me massive highs.... and big lows.

We completed the bodywork and I love absolutely everything (the Highs)............ except for the rear bumper...
it really sucks and doesn't look right at all (the lows).

These are the good sides.

If you're not liking the rear bumper, how about a "shot" of the back to let us give you some constructive feedback?

Again, thanks for all the comments, I put the number plate on and it breaks the back up a little but still hate it.

Anyway, Gary was happily snapping away so here are a few of K-II at the McLaren show as some have asked to
see him in natural light.


And before anyone comments... the panels do fit better but I only fitted the front bumper with two 10mm bolts. lol

Thanks for the info,but the bell housings (5x114.3 adapter to the brakes disc for front and rear is what I'm after. I understand the rears are Ap and fronts are custom made?

Aesthetically, if you look at the car from a side view, the front bumper and rear diffuser should be at approximately the same height. Right now the rear diffuser is quite a bit lower, which is visually a little confusing. Again, JMO. Overall, beautiful end result!
