Starting to take shape. Front bumper didn't sit right for my, so I decided to narrow it slightly. It took a bit of work to modify the wings.

I know I'm just a copycat, fingers crossed it'll look ok when painted.

Copycat or otherwise the rear light housing looks good, did you make them yourself or buy as a kit..?

Yeah made them myself, I wish someone did do a kit to weld in. It's only cost me about £50 including the tail lights, but has took some time.

Looks great so far! As Jonathan said the welded in light housings are a nice touch.

The Jenveys will be fun to get going I'm sure, but you'll find a few people on here that have mapped 911 ignition and fuelling from scratch so I'm sure the help is there if you ask. :)

Welcome to DDK by the way!

Looking great and I agree those rear lamps are really well done, very interested to hear where you bought the minilight style wheels for the rear in that offset ?

The car is not ready for paint, but I couldn't wait to see what my R rear lights look like with some paint on the rear quarter. I'm pleased with the results, just got to finish the other side when I get hold of a left hand rear quarter. Anyone got a SC left hand rear quarter, I only need from the wheel arch back.

Lacking motivation at the moment, so seeing her in daylight helps.

Looks like I should be ok with my 8" rims.

Starting to look a little different from when I bought her.
