As for the car fookin love this beast and it goes like stink even on gt set up and as for handling I felt like burning my g40 after a few high speed twisties in this going to be nothin short of epic with boost! Not sure that the recent flinstones conversion is gonna help rigidity though!

Couldn't be arsed stripping all the shite off the floorpan so I just cut it out instead :lol:

Found a fair bit of rust on the sills and rear arches where idiots have repaired it badly beforehand, so gonna give it a proper going over this winter to get it pristine :grin: I LOVE not having to work on it out in the rain!

Your a nice person, for having somewhere warm and dry and well light to work on it :lol:

Its like one of my dreams haha!

Its one way of doing it i guess, just cutting the floor out :lol:
