Paint is looking great. I look forward to the final product.
I think the turbo is way too big!! Is it even going to fit let alone spool?

The t28 is a good turbo, wouldn't want to be much laggier though.

UPDATE
my front CCS lip is no longer available, so im going to improvise....

here you see a set of ET side skirts (they once were modified and fitted to the EXA! (see pics in top post), but the previous owner did a bodgy job and they never fitted right, i got CCS ones, so i had these lying round....

Image

a quick chop, here and there...
Image

and here is the basic idea of what im constructing, still needs so reinforcing, some fibreglass n bog and primer.....
Image

and yes i measured the bottom of the bar first and made a template

interior

ive currently fitted an N13 EXA centre console (with centre glovebox) to just change the interior a bit, and add a different feel.

my DVD player is mounted below the dash, where the ashtray used to sit.... instead of one side in the dashboard panel....

Looks nuts bro! Took a while to get painted ay! Good to have a decent job done tho.

Do you have any shots that arn't at weird angles? lol Its kinda off putting looking at skewed shots :P

What are you going to do wheel wise? Not the massive chromes i hope...? Far to mainstream for an N12 IMO! Especially this one!

there IS some modding....

like the console is long so i had to bolt a block of wood to the "shaft tunnel" b4 the backseat so i could fasten it using the existing holes,

then the n12 gear lever surround has to be cut and modified to fit.
then the n12 centre dash unit (like a box under the ashtray) had to be cut and modified ONLY becauuse i wanted to fit my DVD unit there....

the stock standard gear lever has to be retained to, cuz the n13 console sits way higher...and the throw is larger....

Looking good Mate!!!

BUT..... the chrome rims put it off big time!!! I recon you can go a set of shadow chrome rims and lower profile tyres.

Keep up the good work
