very nice work peggy its looking so good i can only dream of getting to your stage as always loving the posts

[Peggyontherun]

@ ASN - Cheers its getting there day by day just getting all the gaps around the door done now so this is time consuming but will be worth it in the end

[asn]

who is that kit made by, as i thought the kit was made from the original Lamborghini Murcielago and would not need all this remoulding and filling was just really bolted together and a slight bit of sanding and filling but the amount you have done seems a bit to much to be the so called best kit thats made by extreme

[Peggyontherun]

@ ASN - yip the kit well i got my metal frame off Extreme the kit i bought it from a chap here in Ireland he didnt know what he was doing with the kit and made and arse of the kit i bought the metal frame from extreme and a few other bits whe i bought the stuff they said the kit wasnt theres that it was a splashed kit i didnt know as i was told off the previous owner that it was an extreme kit which i taught it was. As for the extreme kits fitting perfect i far from perfect fitting i know my kit has taken nearly 2 years to complete but it keeps me going every day and something to do as i have redesigned this kit a few times with different pieces so its taken longer, and i had a problem with extreme concerning a windscreen that i paid for and they snubbed me off so i did a bit of research and used a Nissan Maxima windscreen same curve as a lamborghini window and only cost me £50 

[Peggyontherun]

Alot of filling and sanding going on as im gapping the passenger door


The roof scoop sanding and filling


Lots of sanding here


A few low spots so re-fillered


After a few days of sanding i cut the new lines for the doors


Scoop coming along


The lines coming along


Anothe day on it and it will be ready for a skim of fiberglass

[asn]
