Out and about for the Kiwi Rotary cruise last Sunday.

Yea it’s there for options if needed. Im more of a fan of the original bonnet but for shits and giggles it’s cool to have the options to change it up if needed. The only door cards this car is getting will be the new black repro ones haha camo.....psshh

This photo uploading gig is really trying my patience...

I actually like the rude rude as white bonnet look haha. 2pac likes it and that’s all that counts.

Bit of the old grease on the top of the IDA filter then lower the bonnet gently down, capturing the initial lower outline of where the cut needs to be. I need to get a couple extra bits to complete this like the thin black trim for the hole edge. My original red bonnet will remain mint so that I can chop and change the look at will. I noticed it was vibrating towards the front at 100km therefore I had a good look at it when I got home. The factors glue holding the frame to the skin was separating. Now we pumped a load of Wurth glue in the areas of concern and it all should be sweet after the glue tacks off.

So this happened today - purists please look away. I have a spare RX2 s2-3 bonnet that has just been gagging to have an IDA hole cut into it.... this was the result

Taken it out twice - both times weather looked good and both times it totally shat itself raining. Bring on summer

Weather put me off taking it to Chrome today. Took it for a hoon about town and it didn’t miss a beat. The blue 808 (mates) got a new turbo last night and was put to work on the track.

I will be driving there for a park up weather dependent. Hoping it’s fine

All legal. What a roller coaster.

Well today the car passed the compliance recheck and I now have 12 months REG and 6 months WOF. Thanks to those that have helped me during the build. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the old sled. Beer o’clock for me I will be parked up at chrome this weekend weather permitting. Come say hi.

The cert plate in riveted to the car. Now to finish the compliance and then enjoy

Cheers man. Will see how I get on. Gagging to drive it

Cheers JP - it’s been a long ass road. I just want to drive it now and generally fang the b’jesus out of it

Car passed cert today - awaiting Cert plate. You beauty
