Amazing!

R.I.P.S NZ · 6th August 2010, 04:09 AM

Not had too much spare time these last couple of weeks but here's some progress.

Rear wing nearly finished but I didn't like the shape of the rear of the side plates:

So I re-shaped them, much better I think:

1 piece front clip, we'll be reshaping the bottom of it, making the lip much lower and blending/flowing in everything to make it super slippery, my man Spook will then come along and hit it with his air brush to give us lights and a grill etc:

Our own fabricated lower arms and control arms during the mock up stages:

Beginning of the towing eye:

Towing eye that will be welded to the top of the cage:

Installed:

Hi Rob, car is looking great.
A friend and I in Auckland have a 1994 R32 GTR that we're turning into a circuit car.
We've stripped it out and are trying to find someone to weld in a crome moly cage, pedal box etc.
I've followed a few of your builds mate, do you build circuit cars too or mainly drag cars?

Cheers.

Looking good Rob love the pics at the top!

Have you give it the no mercy treatment under that fibre glass lol?

I agree with the earlier post, love the towing eye!

Big respect to you Rob, you are a bloody legend mate. I have been watching the forums since I left and have loved watching your progress. I reckon this project is going to raise a few eyebrows.

Say hi to Avon for me.

Nate.

R.I.P.S NZ · 8th August 2010, 08:04 PM

Hi Nate, cheers for the comments.

Avon is down south now, he shifted down there with Cindy and the family around xmas time, I'll let him know you said hello,

Rob
