is your workshop door wide enough to get it out fully built??
And you also have the moulds to i see. Interesting...
That is seriously wide, think it is wider than the kit being made for mine!
it certainly is i have a 100 mm wider track and mated with 8.5 inch wide wheels i think i may need itQuote:

On another note though, if carbon bodyworks your thing, keep your eyes on my facespunk account over the coming 2 or 3 months :d
carbon is my thing the price tag normaly assosiated with it isnt but if you can lay me up a new front bumper and front wings that would be awsome as the abit cracked and damaged in places so i would rather fit new ones rather than repair these if its an optionQuote:

Just at the minute, and until this unit comes through, workspace is holding me back :(
mike you can rent my garage the GCH for £400 a month lol
just fiberglass again would be good mate
Can do that, even easier aswell (alot cheaper too!)
[/useless info time] On a complete random side note, useless composite part information.... BMW E46 M3; both front & rear bumper ram bars are carbon fibre [/useless info time]
that kit is crazy wide, its guna look awesome, loads of room for some super wide tyres :)
Pure wide filth i love it!
extremely jealous of them wings, makes my wide arches look standard.
If done right you should be thinking about a set of 18's with 285 tyres.
Just make sure the development goes into the strength of replacement arms & beam...
Yes yes yes!
Do you have the moulds for the doors too???
I need a kit that wide, though I might have some mods to do to accommodate 9 x 18" wheels.
You would think whoever made those arches made mine !

Wide arches were all the rage back then, I'll assume tyres were also a fook load cheaper back then too LOL
