Any progress dude?

I managed to rent a new garage last weekend and the last occupant has just finished emptying all of their stuff out so other than moving my stuff in, I should be able to get going now!
Love what you did with the paint on Steves car - it looks amazing.
Any hints or tips for me looking for a painter in the US?

best advice is to sort someone who has painted GRS panels in the past and don't always go on price in the UK you get really what you pay for.

You should have plenty of guys over there who prep/paint fiberglass,like who fixes all those smashed
fiberglass corvettes.Good luck,but always remember you only get what you pay for.Things will pick up when the weather rets a little warmer.....

Still no progress here.

Managed an all time low of -55F (with wind chill) here over the weekend. Most days are 0F or less before wind chill. I just want to get started!!!!!

We had -10 degrees with the wind chill this past weekend too. Looking forward to warmer weather so I can watch your build up.

How are you getting on mate??
Any break in weather??

[Mr Ferrari]

 The weather is still very cold here in Minnesota and we have only had a few days above freezing since last November.. I still need to get over and check the kit out when we get a little break in the weather..

[Mr Ferrari]

  Ha..  I thought this website was down for the past month or so..  It was just my bookmark link gone bad..

    Lets get this car rolling Kester..     Now the weather has warmed up a little we can get going on your project and hopefully get the car on the road this summer..  Good thing the DNA is one of the easiest kits to put together and I am excited to work on a kit car that I feel we can actually complete..

   I need another Ferrari to cruise around town with me so I don't look like the only rich guy in town..

I'll do one side you do the other   
Hopefully we can meet somewhere in the middle 

[Mr Ferrari]

  I will try and get there fairly early on Saturday(About 10 am)..  You are only about 1/2 hour drive from here

Help! 
Hey guys, can someone tell me which way up the front a arm goes? I'm not sure which is right and which is left!  Is it obvious once you take it a part?
Is the little sleeve supposed to point down or up that the anti-roll bar fixes into?
Even a photo of that little connection would do.
Also any hints and tips of what you wish you had done on the first side and did on the second.
As you can guess, the Munky and Mr Ferrari pulled a poor little MR-S to pieces (mostly) today!
Mr Ferrari will be posting some pics soon.
Thanks for the help!

     Tearing a perfectly good Toyota down to nothing..

  The directions are a little vauge on how to install some of the bits and pieces of the kit.. Another thing, The supplied A-arms have a square block on the outer(wheel) end of the arm and it has several (4)small holes in it..  The factory ones have a single large hole in the end of the arm.. How do we make that work?  I am sure we will need a spring compressor to do the rear springs as well.. 

  Thanks for any help guys, Pictures of someones suspension would be awesome..  Or is it best to just install the body and exhaust and take the car in to a shop and have the suspension bits installed and adjust the alignment and camber at the same time?
  If its a fairly easy job we can handle it, but sometimes suspension can be difficult to deal with for various reasons.. Any insight would be greatly appreciated..


 Here are a couple pictures, I didn't get a picture with the front completley stripped and all the rear almost done.. That fuel door release is not wanting to turn to get the cable free.. Grrr
