Looking good.

Where did you manage to track down a donor for the later interior etc?!

Can't see many owners offering to sell theirs to you, and the car in the photo doesn't look smashed up or anything?!

Not criticising, just curious as can't see the number of F's over there being that huge either?!

If Vader is anything to go by, car should look great when you're finished!

Look forward to seeing some more photos of your progress.

All the best,


Peter

hey pete that car is smashed up bad in the passenger side broken steering rod etc

ISFs are hard to come by esp late models
iv had 5 ISFs so far
m last 1 was a 2011 (which is wrecked in 3 weeks of ownership)
and this 2012 was bought for a salvage auction
this is the 3rd ISF iv seen from salvage auctions in 4 years whcih 2 of them i bought
i also wreck lexus for a side business so it was bought as part inventory

Got it.

Such a shame!

Looks mint from the other side, and probably one of my favourite combo's colour and trim wise.

Good result for you though!

Cheers.
