loving the detail, and well done for purchasing a proper subframe, thats the closest to oem perfection

Chris those wheels are awesome!

Just masses of class and quality with this one, I love it, great work!

Loving the work - not sure about the purple wheels and brake drums though. Drums are ugly bloody things, best hidden with a coat of satin black paint IMHO. :)

I understand this point totally but I just have a feeling its gonna look seriously cool!

Really liking how this is coming along. It's a shame that UK Genesis's were such a poor spec by comparison.

What's next on your to-do list? I couldn't help but notice that there's a little bit of corrosion on the lip of the sill (post 93, 3 picture down) :paranoid: Might want to pop some underseal on that before the rot sets in properly as it can get quite rampant in that area, as i've recently found out.....

Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

P.S: Thought about setting up a build thread for the rhd? (I know there is an old thread kicking about somewhere).

Different cars!

The Genesis was an upgraded Fox in the UK - the purple ones were a really high spec Mk3 (not all G40s) done as a commemorative special edition for Volkswagen sponsoring a Genesis (the band) tour.

I'm undersealing the full underbody when the better weather comes.

Snap...not a job i'm looking forward to. Out of curiosity, what are you thinking of using?

I know! They were launched a couple of months apart but god knows why they chose 'Genesis'.
