V12  good choice of engine:-)

I also have. I love and hate at the same time. 2 years still only 6 cylinders running ... no expert here in the Czech willing to.

I can temporarily bolt the mount brackets to check geometry is ok and check wheel location - when I get the hub into the bearing , and now the steering rack has arrived  :drool   I can work out the height of the mount plates for it and check bumpsteer .
Have the opportunity to try bushes and camber bolt into OE mounts , perfect fit . ::)

Definitely interested in seeing how you mount the suspension to your frame.

Ok , time to move this forward a little bit .

I have been wrestling with a couple of directions to go in ....manual or auto and whether to get some US or european suspension ...so still working on those.
Another plan is currently in limbo ...for three months ... :(

So for progress , the front end panels and trims are test fitted with the boot carpet.

Also the washer bottle is fitted . This kit is quite compehensive and saves trying to make something fit when in actual fact this is a snug fit already and has the fitting to fill the hole in my carpet  8)

The windscreen wiper is test mounted but the securing of the mounting frame is not yet done and may need some trimming. The swept area is spot on with only a slight mod to the wiper arm and uses the full size oem spec wiper blade , the later aero type.

Maybe more parts for christmas ..... :occasion

If i may ask....... What does the L147 stand for? Just curious 

The L147 is the lamborghini model designation for the Murcielago and appears on european VIN plates and on the US sales sheet. I use the L147( incorrectly) to distinguish the original shape from the LP640 ( which is still an L147)  ::duh clear ....:)

Those panels are sick! How did you get the decorative (I know they provide more support too) indentations? Were those stamped or did you take after the panels with a hammer and hopes?

The ribs were formed with a 'bead roller' and aswell as being for the sake of replication  ::help , I was keen to see if they had the effects I was hoping for , which was to stiffen the panel and prevent panel vibration from the inevitable warpage of welding the panels in.
