Hi all this is my build i only started it February 2010 so this is how far i am the kit is built on a Toyota MR2 turbo
5 Months into this is how far i got
Ingraved plate
Front view
Replica disks and calipers i made
The custom dash
I sent the dash off to be carbon fiber dipped
This is the top of the dash
The air vents all different carbon fiber
Exhausts fitted bit of a job fitting these
More parts carbon fibered the steering column
The dash
Seat bealt housing fitted
The air vent painted and fitted
The engine cover fitted
Well have been busy trying to get the front section finished will be a week at it to get it 100% perfect a good bit of sanding left
I had to put in a whole new section as the previous owner decided to cut it all away :angryfire:
The front slam panel i got mad up
The slam panel fiber glassed in place
Put in the front slam panel cut this out to fit then fiberglass it
A layer of filler to get it 100%
The fake calipers re-stickered with Lambo stickers and re-lacquered
The brackets on the rear of the caliper i sprayed them with heat resistant paint
The disk sprayed with heat resistant paint just waiting to finish the middle insert and spray that black
Very nice - But why have you painted the discs? Even if it is heat resistant, The first time you hit the brakes the pad friction will strip the paint of the face of the disc...
There fake caliper and disks they dont work there only there for show

Sheeting into the front of the car to block off the front compartment
Lots od sanding and the gas struts all put back together
Expandable foam all filled the front wings there solid now
The middle section being covered up
Made the template for the roof lining and it has been sent off to be leathered in black with white diamond stitching the same as the seats are going to be done should look the bomb
Got the sheeting cut out for the turbo intercooler housing that will feed air from the side skirt up into the intercooler all metal sealed with under seal
Intercooler at the side of the car
Looking up from the ground into the tunnel
All sealed
Hi i have been contemplating changing the bulk head as i wasn't happy with the flock so i used filler and im going to smoothen out the back bulk head i think it would look much better
Looking very good. Keep us posted on progress.
