hmm, they look nice.

Looks good Nick , have you decided on tyres yet? there dont seem to be many V rated to choose from , i am looking at 185/65/15 V rated Pirelli
P6000 , Geoff .

I have left the wheels bare at the moment because of work getting in the way. Chris is going to sort out the tyres thankfully. I think he mentioned Falcon

You start with a perfectly respectable BMW Z3 and then just because you run one person over Chris gets all uppity and does this:

I didn't even ask for a Ferrari!

Great the way it all un-bolts, and the engine is very neat looking. Are you narrowing rear wheel arches?

Chris really cracks on once a project starts. That looks good but what happened to the Maserati idea?

Nick the wheels look spot on , Geoff .

It will be a Marathi. The Ferrari was just lying around so he tried it for size

Getting the front wings lower will be a problem for Chris to overcome due to the high strut towers. Enlarging the bonnet opening so the wing edges run the outside of the towers will allow the wing top to be 40mm or so lower but it still looks high to me.

Finally on a computer that allows me to post pictures so here goes.

Take a standard kit : https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-w...o/IMG_3879.JPG

Take a large saw :https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-I...o/IMG_3880.JPG

Some gaffer tape : https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-s...o/IMG_3883.JPG

And you get the start of a car : https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z...o/IMG_3882.JPG

The arse has to be made a bit fatter but I really rather like this shot : https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-W...o/IMG_3886.jpg

B E A Utiful :)

Wait until you see the frenched in rear lights and the pretty front end

Do you not think the wind might get under the Gaffer tape and peel it? I'd hate to see the rear valance fly off down the motorway. It may be better to use Speed tape as we used to repair aircraft skins with that :biggrin:

Seriously though, it does look like a good start to a unique project and we'll be following with interest

That's not gaffer tape! It is prototype venting

Frenched in lights... like this?

Each to their own :)

That 250 body shell looks rather a good fit on the beemer. A possible alternative doner?

garyh - the ones in rt pic aren't really frenched in but that is sort of the look we are heading for

Just googling stuff and sotted this

So are you going for modern body and retro wire wheels/riveting detail?
