Yep, its white all over. GT350 knock off rear wing. It now has Trackspec motorsport bonnet louvers for a bit of extra cooling.
AJ GT4 Style Canards
Mods - Interior
The back seats are gone and a GT350R steering wheel has a much nicer feel. Watson Half cage, Recaro Sportster CS seats, Velo Harnesses.
GT350 splash screen caus why not, it deserved more than a plain Ford one.
AIM Solo 2 and SmartyCam so i can see and have data that i lifted when i said i held it flat.
Background & Plans
Fix the previous owners mistakes and make it a nice "streetable" track car. Tick, that's done. It will still have plates so i can drive it to the track.
14th of June it goes into Herrod Performance for new suspension and a major brake upgrade with wheel and tyres to fit over the 350R brakes. Tick Done.
Radium fuel surge tank done.
MGW shifter finally installed after sitting in the office for 12 months.
