Thanks for all of the feedback gentlemen. I'll probably be taking the week off from the garage while I make a list of things I want to tidy up or start on. I'll be sure to keep this updated.

such a great write up.
I love it when i plan goes tits up and then comes together last minute.
no matter how far away the deadline is its always the last few days/hours that everything seems to happen.

Gotta ask Rob, looks like you have some type of "lid" above your headlights or am I seeing things? =)

The angry eyebrows are perfect
Color is awesome
Interior looks really shiny, does the vinyl paint get mat after a while?

Originally I was going to have some MK2 Recaro seats reupholstered to the color scheme I wanted so I had some sketches done.


But I ended up going with Recaro Evo 8 seats instead -

Redone to match door cards:
