welldone mate, car looks excellent.
how much have you lowered the car by? I am interested in this as I am planning on the same for mine, a mate of mine is flaring the front wings and the rear arches but I am unsure on what kind of set up to bring the car down enough without destroying the handling of the car.

Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
bit of an update.
fitted my corbeau racing seats, more of a comfort seat than race seat and looks the part. certainly doesnt look out of place.
much more comfortable than all of the other seats i have used
added extra decals the bonnet decal has been replaced as the one that was on it was tiny and looked all wrong.
added cleland to the rear windows
getting both sides and the rear end redone after xmas
started stripping and painting wheel arches then finishing with dinatrol 447 stonechip.
removing all existing underseal removing rust and welding where required.

Re: Troy's SRI 16V gsi replica W.I.P (rust wipeout time)
just started this cut it out using the plasma cutter. the rust above the whole will also be remove it just easier rebuilding in stages rather than in one go with the amount of curves a wheel arch has
