Very Nice Martin.

Thanks all for comments. Now I'm working on details and small upgrades (daytime running lights, rear foglight installation, side skirts back, spitters back, at last that clear gas tank lid from Vince is on . Many important things

Martin u did piece of great job man !!!! I just have no words....

One question- u have lithuanian plates on your car?? Why??

Waiting for more photos

Hi Mate . It's simple. LHD car with UK plates looks suspicious (imagine for example PL plates on RHD car) so I have registered car in LT before trip home (I was driving it home my self through whole Poland so it was necessary). Now managing registration here.

Now I'm playing with many thing in the car (current job is interior illumination change to red/white LEDs). Car is dirty and not much photogenic . Only I have is just few crappy pic from cell phone...:

I bought new Yokohama winter tires and painted old GT-four rims to make "winter wheels set" for upcoming weather



As noticeable I have side skitrs back on, SS-III splitters as well so full SS-four look is back again



Last upgrade was transparent tank lid installation and TRD cup cover

dang you stole my idea, are they powdercoated?

Looking good.
Where did you get the transparrent fuel lid from?? Love to have one like that

vincent_doggy sells them. Many members have them including me. The old one isn't fun to take off, but once you get the old screws off and new clip on it's easy work .



Great work on the car so far.

It's just an idea for winter time . For the rest of the year I will use different ones. It is not powdercoated. I have heard it's "fragile paint" for rims and it can crack when you scratch (the curb for example) easily. So just special wheel primer and paint been used.

Very nice work Martin, I like what you do with your cars.
keep up the good work

this is by far my favorite 6th gen, awesome work malpaso

Im liking the white gt4 wheels

Thanks for support guys... now when car is at home and I can drive it everyday is every progress so slow . I'm busy at work so not much spare time for my baby left .

November, 30th:
Exterior is fully finished and now working on interior. Of course what I miss is my old illumination



So now I have installed additional gauges (3 of them are not working because I have not installed sensors yet but they are wired and ready ), also working on dash illumination upgrades like LED installation:



And when I have my new speedo at home I will start with cluster as well...

you know martin, i need to fly over there one day and meet you.

You are always welcomed!

I love how you decided to do your extra dials on the dash and not on the roof column. It make sit look very nice and professional. Just curious, how hard is it to do all the LEDs and what not? I'm still riding on stock green.. and to be honest, I don't like it much lol. Also, which speedometer insert did you use?

Great job so far. I understand how it is not to have a lot of time to upgrade your car. I wish I had more time to do mine.

Man, I just read through this topic from beginning to end. What an epic journey. Simply amazing, and what a great and unique car you have now

All looks fantastic mate, love it .....................






.....................except for the petrol tank lid....... never understood those. I mean why do you need to see the petrol cap? Kinda the same as drilling a hole in your fender so you can see your oil filter to me

you know why? Because I'm only one in CEE who hs it and because evey single local ricer will hate me for this

After one year, one month and one day ( ) I have decided to resurrect this topic to show this picture:



Some people here already know that 5 months ago "SS-Four - stage III" project has started. I have learned two years ago it is not wise to share with news too soon... But... On December 2010 was new forged engine completely finished. Now it is time to bring her back to live . Nothing can stop it now... So stay tuned .
