sweet, good job. A friend of mine did the same thing with his car, but he just used filler...
It looked great for a week!
So what power are you expecting? have you had the engine on a dyno? Where does that huge *** turbo spin up?
Youve gotta post some videos when its done :oD
I take it the interior is staying out? two kevlar seats, harnesses, pedals and steering wheel and thats it?

THAT IS AMAZING!!!! OMG I love the body work in smoothing it out without loosing function. That paint looks wonderful, reminds me of something RE-Amemiya would use.
I really like the engine too, not fond of the intake but it functions and thats all that matters, that turbo on the other hand might ingest a small child so keep the kids away! lol

I've had many customers bring me aftermarket bodyparts, Fab Kit(over $15,000 for Mercedes) to Nopi crap($100) and they all need work. They all swear it's a perfect fit(maybe in their eyes) but it just ain't.
I have to be careful, but I don't plan on driving this car every day. Hell I don't drive my daily car everyday.
In the end, most of the things we did on the car was, 'hey, why don't we do this'. And it was done.

Laguna Seca Blue is my guess

i've seen that car in real life many times... and know the owner vaguely...the engine is currently blown.. and the car is a trailer queen in general anyway...
he is currently "funding" a LS1TT FD and aiming for 1000ish HP

more. Still have very very long way to go. Will post progress. I thought I stripped the damn thing down to bear minimum, but it's starting to fill up fast with all the other crap I want to put in.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
this car is going to be amazing when done. I hope that center console comes off, I would hate to put that in all in one piece like that. Unreal. Are you putting in a Defi sports cluster or the motec one for the speedo or something? Is that dash full carbon fiber? I really like what your doing there. very interested in your project.
