Painted... but not finished yet.

Not finished yet, but here's some more work in progress shots from last night.

The colour scheme is not complete yet, there is a white stripe to go between the red and blue, classic nissan/datsun colour scheme, and a white border around the bottom of the car, front splitter and bib need to go on, wheel spacers are being made. Going to use compomotive two piece 16x8 (ET20 I think) rims, porsche 924 rear wheel studs (m14 x 1,5 x 70 long) if we can drill out the hubs to accept them and 25mm spacers, not sure what offset the compomotives are, but I guess they are close to zero... this body kit with standard wheels would need 60mm spacers to fill the arches out..

Rear wing, lightweight door mirrors and lowering of the seats will be done after the car is re-registered.. for legal reasons...

Same applies to bigger brakes and changing the engine.... shhhhhhhh... we have to get it re-registered for road use with roll cage and as a two seater.... and then once they go through everything with a fine toothed comb, to make sure we haven't tuned it or changed seat mountings, mirrors lights etc... then we can change almost everything as subsequent yearly tests will just check light alignment, rust and emissions etc.
