the grill on the black car is what im proposing but with the headlights similar to the first image. im quite fond of guinness and as the ads go "good things come to those who wait" and i think it will be worth it. :-)

so if you look at the last link imagine it with a 1vev grill. so a good mix of sporty and agressive. bit like a jaguar xkr with a masserati gran tourismo grill.

Looking at the pictures on page 7 of this thread, Chris has it very close to perfection. Can we say 'just right' medium? Also his Miata to "Z" photoshop on page 2 shows the shorter nose.

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/butterfly19851/WP_20140511_001_zps493bfaca.jpg this is what ive been looking at. i used a photo and adjusted the front to work with http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/butterfly19851/WP_20140515_001_zpsd18aca82.jpg this image to keep with the lines and grill.

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/butterfly19851/mycarfinishedcantwait_zpse222512a.jpg this is the colour I like but would prefer in a solid colour. also shows the highest point on the bonnet is near the windscreen which would allow for the front to sit lower. ive always bin aware that the front on classic cars sits high and may cause lift so by lowering it without distorting the flow would help the driving experience hence the thought of using bumpers as a splitter appealed

Are you open Saturdays Chris :-)otherwise next visit will be sometime in June:-)

Hi Joe. I have emailed you.

Making a visit in June. Should be good day . Least will know the direction builds going and work out the finishing touches. I'm hoping to get some higher profile tyres for my oz wheels and see how they look in the arches.

Progress

Do You have some Pictures of the progress?

regards

Will know more next week. :-)

hi yall,
saw the build tuesday and its progressing well. the lines have tightened up . just waiting for the roof mold to be done to see the completed outline. dropped headlights and some headlight covers off at the workshop.

I wont be posting any pics as its recovering from surgery but once the fillers dried im sure Chris will be happy to provide an update.

Any progress?

How are Things?

regards.

On speaking to Chris not long ago the amzmx5/r2d2 might be finished by September fingers crossed and with the wind in the right direction allowing for no floods or high winds and many dry days and nights.

That' the plan

Thought I'd ask. If anyone is after a temporary shelter for their builds if they don't have a garage but have a plot of land that a tent can be put up i have a colemans deluxe event shelter for sale. Not bin used, still in boxes. Comes with zip in side panels and floor 15ft square floor space. Bout 8'ft tall.

Might work as a paint booth. Looking for £330 ono. If the asking price is met i will throw in a trolley that will make it easier move round as it weighs 26 kilos plus the side panels and floor. Its a garden trolley that can take up to 120 kilo's

op2:Any updates,pics. Even if covered in filler. I'll try get the grill to you soon. Get paid tmoz so probably Monday. Hopefully the back end is going well.

Anyone seen the db speedback gt.

Visiting the workshop next week so might have some updates to the shell and final shape. I've bought a grill that in hoping can be incorporated into the front. Will be great to see the progress. Back end was looking great .

This whole thing looks amazing!

Pictures please

Take and post some pictures please.

Think the best i can do are shots of panels but not the whole build till its finished. Window shape and bonnet shape is still to be confirmed. I'm thinking of having bumpers put on in the style of the db6. Possibly split or whole
