Looks very nice though, terrific job!
i agree about the rivets. i actually chose not to paint them a different colour on mine. the boot i kinda like.... gives it a sort of retro look. plus saves a lot of weight!. as for the spoiler................. not wise. when i picked up the original car it had no spoiler on it. at 100mph i almost lost control on a straight. it seems that the car needed a spoiler to maintain stability at speed.
im sure that over time lots of fortunes will appear with loads of variations.

i was never a fan of the fortune kit, but i think it was the paint jobs that killed it for me... but for once this is definetly to my liking!

He's running 19s. What's the deal with those seats? Must cut down on visibility a bit, no?

they are 19s lol. They prob look smaller as the dish is so extreme. 20s would be too big. the car is lowered on tien adjustables and its a very very tight fit with the 19s

u saw some similat in a TVR cerbera show car some years back. I liked the extremity of them. So when i was building this car i wanted the interior to be in keeping with the exterior.
Yes visibility is lost a bit. to be honest with the split rear window and roll cage the rear view mirror isnt of much use anyway. but for checking blind spots etc... the seats have sections cut out for visibility

absolutely amazing craftsmanship. Seems you made it fit flawlessly.

In my personal opinion, the only thing i would change from ths car for my taste is the rear window, the shift ****, and the seats. The seats seem out of character. They look like they belong in a circuit car.

Again, exellent work,
