Hi there! :ph34r:
Thought it would be cool to show you guys my G40 project !
The car im building up is a 1986 GT which i have thorn everything out of, except the engine (which is coming out very soon).
I'm putting in a G40 engine which im gonna help breathing with a T25 turbo of a Nissan 200SX S13.
For the suspension im gonna have either coilovers or cup suspension (60/40 or something), and for the chassis i have polyurethane bushings all over and ofcourse strutbraces both infront and in the back.
For the interior, i cant decide wether im gonna do it all race style (no interior except bucketseats etc) or if gonna use the old GT-interior i have.. Most likely i will use the GT-interior! I have also bought a OMP Corsica deep dish steering wheel and im getting OMP pedals.. Since i found out that theres no shortshift kit for this car, im gonna have to do the budget one by cutting the gearshifter a few inches ;p haha.
The car will roll on Starmag 13"s for now, but im looking at getting OZ Superturismo WRC later on! For the bodywork im not going to have a front bumper, and im gonna cut some holes in the body for the intercooler, im also thinking of getting group-H widebody arches shipped over from germany. Im also waiting on a Kamei G40 Cup frontspoiler! :) At the back im making a Lancia Delta Integrale Evo "replica" flip in glassfiber.
The whole car will be painted in Comet Blue or Helios Blue..!

ha, overview and the original wheels :)
(http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo288/mnhobbes/_9210367.jpg)
ive also decided to make a shot at widing the arches with vauxhall nova/opel corsa arches, as they look abit similiar to the urquattro/e30 m3/integrale body :)
Painted in atlasblue, rabbit gti frontlip, lancia integrale spoiler as well as the sport quattro bonnet!
hopefully, by the end of the summer or something ;p this is how it will look like :)

I always said the Mk2 Coupe's looked like a small Delta Turbo, but you've mangaed to achieve the full scales down Intergrale look, think the mirrors could do with a rethink though!
nice photoshoppin, took a second glance before i realised! its gunna look awesome...better wheels tho!

:) the integrale has always been my favourite car.. but its so expensive, and i wont dare too think about the insurance :< so the solution is a wided polo with a turbo converted g40 engine ;D haha.. im going to make custom mirrors with a basis of cup ones.. :) you will see!
