thanks beany
  
   well i had hoped to get mine in primer by end of month but i just cant get stuck into it as im so busy in the day doing my business work,ive got 2 bmw m6 conversion sitting in workshop waiting to start,but im sure we will both be looking around the same time to finish,im planning on getting it done for a show next year.theres so many other things i want to do to it apart from the normal kit.im going to have to rebook the superchargers as i wont make the deadline :( getting the bodywork right is crucial buddy and thats what takes all the time but im a patient man luckily (so the missus says) as im doing all the work myself it will be a long job,yours should be quite quick as the bodyshop dna use have quite a few guys,will be good to catch up at one of the shows next year buddy.really looking forward to seeing you guys and your builds.......................

just got back from work thought id take a few more photos of the repairs done so far,ive finished straightening the lines from the osr quarter panel and bootlid,filed and smoothed the rear light holes,cut the rear glass appeture and smoothed ready to take glass,will be working on the other side of quarter next week (in between my heavy work load) all my dummy discs and calipers are now painted and ready to fit.just waiting for my replacement grooved and drilled discs and pads to come.i was debating whether to fit a big brake kit as im having it supercharged with full de-cat system,the thing is im only going to use it for the nice days and to take to my shows etc,so probaly wouldnt use the extra braking power.what advice would people give me on this.................

car is a 2003 model with aircon and full service history,1owner from new 30,000 miles was a shame to strip her but wanted a good base car to use for the conversion.

just read that message,what a thing to say,yes everyone has there opinions but why be on a website like this if thats how you feel.building these cars is more about what you can get out of it,from an outside point of view people dont see the hard work and love and care that we do to get these cars spot on,ive been building cars and converting bmws etc for years and i enjoy everythimg i do,i looked at another venture to do as i had just sold both my e46 m3 and e93 m3 cabs (yes they are supercars burton)but building one of these has been more of a pleasure than when i built my m3 showcars,so to all that has and is building a dna then keep up the good work,its about fun,determination,the end result,......................

lol beany yes that would be funny,maybe we just think the same,ive had 2 hours on mine this afternoon,got the rear light appetures shaped and ive made some special brkts to hold the top 2 bolts that come out of lamps,makes it safe and secure,you need to be able to take out the lamps at lata stages,just incase it stops working,id best send you a e-mail before i paint it to make sure yours isnt the same colour.lol seen as your having black interior i think we may be on same lines....
