Nice ride rob, you should put this in the members rides section!
A list of all mods would be great!

Very clean Rob. Love all the plumbing in the engine bay. I've just finished a 2110 so I'd be interested in your specs.

Wickid ride
with the rear apron, how do you re-attach it? and do you use the stock apron you removed?
Cheers

Thanks for the appreciation guys :)

THe fridge is going to br my roof mounted intercooler for when i turbocharge it haha!

Therear apron is just attached using the stock 4 wing bolt holes and a nut and bolt through, its not the quickets of removable panels but i prefered the stock look on the valance, I actually just bought a new valance as my old one was a bit rotten anyway, I filled the exhaust cutouts and smoothed it all over, hopefuly i will have pictures soon of that and the Aronson decklid.

Hey Andy, yep the exhaust is stainless and ceramic coated, cost a bit but to be honest well worth the extra money as it means i wont have tokeep polishing it an it wont tarnish with the heat :D

I will post up al the detail in the next few days on the Rides section, I'll also put more up here too so you guys can easily see it :D
