No the center panel is, the dash is just a standard dash. Altho I'm going to have a word with him for the fibreglass dash

He didn't want to do it at first, took me lots of beer to persuade him. The skirts I made myself as the ones off the rt car were to fit the s15 front end arches he had made

Looks Nuts!
Keep up the good work.
I'm eventually going to go down the gripper route, just going to try a welded diff first to see what all the fuss is about!
I dont suppose you know how much weight you removed from all the tar?
Originally I was just going to build a budget drifter, but im not a drifter and can't face sliding all my time and money into a wall, haha. I don't know exactly, it's not a massive amount but it is a decent weight

Awesome project so far. I'll be keeping an eye on this.
So with the inside sorted thanks to the arrival of one of my seats
I got our fabricator to extend my bottom arms ready for the wide arches
And they came back just in time for my next arrival, the arches and skirts from ABW
so quickly home to get everything fitted up and see how it all fitted together. The track width was spot on but the car was too low so I had to either lift the car or the arches. I compromised and raised the car slightly and fitted the arches slightly higher than they are intended. While I was at it I folded and vented the wing
I just want to drive bitches
Looking good cant wait to see the rear arches love that style of arches on the 200.
That front arch/wing combo is epic

So onto the rear arches from RT-Autobodies. Nothing bad can be said about the fit and quality from rich, everything is spot on everytime. I had been asking for a set of these for ages but he just wouldn't do them, then he caved
I had to cut the lower section off the rear as these are designed for cut away rear floor
And get them test fitted
loving the progress so far. looking forward to more updates
Then onto the front bumper. Again from RT but originally for brens v8 200. It was exactly the style I was going to make so thought May aswell start with that.
The bumper and arches are from different kits so obv didn't match, also I fitted the front arches higher so abit of messing around and that was rectified
Your car looks great mate. I really like it. Can I ask, how have you gotten your rear track wider? I'd love to widen my car but short of spacers I am clueless.
I love projects with lots of custom work.
With the front and rear set I could crack on with the skirts. I knew the style I was after so I used the ABW skirts and gave them a little makeover to suit my needs
Piman2k at the moment it is just with spacers to set all the body work. I'm going to get some shaft spacers machined to space the drive shaft in between the diff and shaft
The exhaust was next to be butchered. Iv always wanted center exit, and as the rear bumper isn't as deep as standard to suit the rear fenders I had to lift the exhaust as high as possible so it didn't hang low so the boot floor goes
And with the bumper fitted
Just need to fit the 3" twin Iv got for the end and drill the bumper to exit through the center of the bumper

Do RT-Auyobodies make rear arches the same as the front ones to fit the 200.
ABW you need, they do the full kit to go with the front arches and skirts
Nelson. Great minds think a like I'm going to be doing similar to my exhaust to allow me to run a diffuser.
Piman. As Nelson says easiest way to widen the rear track is drive shaft spacers with longer arms. Again ill be doing similar, shaft spacers but with custom subframe and arms.
