Project Nutella - some pro pics
Being a photog, the images look a lot washed out and dry.
Your pro could have made them look nicer. (shrugs)

God saw me fit enough to drive it. It's my responsibility to drive it the way its meant to be drove. (All Roads Open.) Mods and fixes are mounting and I don't care, as it will be drove come hell or high water.

And I reckon he might have a trick or 2 up his sleeve for performance if his bodywork plans are anything to go by!!
Excelent carswith this much body work usually are show cars. That was all I was getting at. Well I am as keen as mustard to see what happens next.

hey thanks matey, the brackets are missing actually ! maybe that would help me pull them up a little bit. any idea what I search or to buy just them two bits? thank yousynthedup wrote:LBZ4 wrote:i think its just the shadowing on the pic with the wheel in it doesnt 100% line up because we had to really flare the arches out to make the wheels fit under them so theres like 5mm difference for the pull but yeah it looks like my wing is broken in that picture.. might request the pics un edited hahasynthedup wrote:Looks awesome
Whats happening where the front bumper connects to the wing? Doesn't seem to look right to me.
Oh right cool, I thought that the plastic bracket was missing but that probable due to the flare

waiting for the engine to go and dropping an RB25 into it. couldn't warrant the price for an RB26 when the 25 will no doubt need to be tuned for the car anyway .. but lets see how it feels when I reach 70k might be worth just biting the bullet and saving for a supercharger but I recon il speak to you before I 100% go ahead with engine work lolMachine monkey wrote:It really has turned out well congratulations nice to see a project start and actually finish.
Do you have an performance plans? I am guessing your probably not.

Engine swap all day long buddy. look at a 1uz v8 you can buy kits to mount BMW gearbox straight to them.
Supercharger kits are a little to easy. Make it stand out like the body work

I really don't get why people feel the need to criticise lowered or stanced cars they look so much better than standard tractor wheel arches, as long as you can still drive it and enjoy it who cares just wish I had the money to put mine on air the Z looks absolutely amazing love every inch of it top job

haha thank you man, always nice when others can appreciate the build. As for the stance, low, stretch thing. From experience it will forever be a divide - i don't think it really upsets people as much as they make out but still probably a bit of a head scratch for people who do use the car to enjoy a nice drive around some country roads - I however really enjoy the shows and cleaning the car and making it look like a show pony haha, people are different you should have seen the reaction I got when my 350z ad Bentley wheels on it.. hahasi-forks wrote:I really don't get why people feel the need to criticise lowered or stanced cars they look so much better than standard tractor wheel arches, as long as you can still drive it and enjoy it who cares just wish I had the money to put mine on air the Z looks absolutely amazing love every inch of it top job

Looks really good overall, Lewis - you've pulled off the hybrid front there, very nice! Would like to see it from the rear - what exhaust & tips did you go for with the four-pot conversion?
For the bumper clips, they are brittle little feckers, and don't remove well. Get some new ones from Sopers BMW in Lincoln (01522 690000). Quote the forum - they should also post out for free on top of the discount.
