When you do something the right way the first time the fit and finish will be superior. Very nice work here! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Phase 1 - The Body Work: Finishing the outer quarter
Well we have hit another pretty major milestone... The rear quarters are complete from a metal work standpoint. Everything is not welded up in the factory locations with factory tools. The factory seam sealer is being applied in the factor locations as well to give this build that extra level of factory authenticity.
We still have some rivets to install as you can see and the weld areas are primed and ready for the body work phase.

Phase 1 - The Body Work: Finished Quarters, Bumpers, Roof
Busy week this week! The quarters are all finished up and you can see from the pictures of the inner wheel well below we achieved a factory quality finish. Simply amazing work and it is a shame this will be covered up and hidden away ultimately!
We have also cut out the roof panel and begun to fit the CF roof (in a factory 1x1 weave with a gloss finish). We have some brackets that need to be moved to the correct position for a non-sunroof car (obviously they are in the correct position for a sunroof car at the moment). On the side, the front and rear bumpers have been prepped and painted. Lots of progress!

Phase 1 - The Body Work: Roof, Fenders, Side Skirts, Hood
More progress this week! Side skirts and hood have been painted and look fantastic. The fenders have been test fit and prepped for paint.
The bulk of the work this week has been around the structural bracket for the roof. In a car that originally has a sunroof, this structure is moved forward in the car to support the sunroof weight. When the sunroof is not present, this bracket is actually located further back in the car. Our task for this week has been to remove the bracket from the original roof panel and located it in the proper position for a non-sunroof car. This sounds simple enough but keep in mind there are airbags for side impact in this location and so those have to be relocated to the proper non-sunroof location as well.

Why not leave the bracket in the sunroof specific location? Is there any detrimental impact on leaving it there?
houtan I would assume they may have pictures or diagrams from a non-sunroof car? Maybe from these guys? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=843272&page=4 |

Phase 1 - The Body Work: Finishing the Roof
This week we have set the roof in the final location and laid down the epoxy. While we are waiting for that to cure the final sanding/blocking and prep is being done to get the chassis ready for paint!
