Lamborghini Murcielago GT1 World Series Replica

[Tallon]

Oh ok so the stretch must have been made for a different kit, I was expecting it to be under-stretched tho :S

[Peggyontherunireland]

@ Tallon - The front wheel well is all hand made the car was stretched but the fit was too big so some alteration had to be made and this was the only route as i live in Ireland its not exactly easy to get any parts or work done its like living in the stone age 

As for the GT1 my car inist the exact copy mine it very different im just using the GT1 as a guide and adding in my own touch

Cheers

Wondering how the front wheel well got like that   
Is that how the fender line around the wheel opening is going to be on the rear? I know it's not finished but I figured you sanded that shape for a reason. Trying to compare to the race car pics but not seeing it.

Cheers guys The donor car was a toyota Mr2 turbo its been stretched
professionally by a crowd in the UK. Maybe next year i will put a Camry V6 into her as its not a hard job to do.

The unit that i rent where my Lambo is i pay around $140 a month

Hey Peggyontherunireland, this is just an incredible build. Love your attention to detail and those carbon fiber parts. I think the paint job on the original looks great and would be easiest to recreate in a vinyl wrap. Thanks for posting here.....dave

looks good.  BTW, what's underneath?  Donor, custom chassis? Engine? etc.  Love that steering wheel.   

[Tallon]

Yeah same here my build is at work and I don't want to be there after work hours, I need my own garage

Wow that puts it in perspective Very nice! Cant wait for the other race inspired build thread to start (CHRIS )

Hey now.. you can't rush perfection.    I'm actually a little behind as I wait for my buddies shop to open up a spot to start the rear frame, engine and transmission swap.  There isn't a whole lot I can do until that stuff is done since it's the last 3/4 section of the car.  Everything is going to change back there (bat wings, engine cover brackets and hinges etc) so I'm just sitting around right now and following the threads here.   

This is driving me crazy.. I finally have great weather but can't do anything on my build.

Thanks for trying to motivate me.

Cheers guys no am not painting the car am getting it wrapped instead as i dont trust fiberglass as it cracks so wrapping ruduces this this is what the car will look like when its finished 

Whoa  that is going to look sweet!  I love the way your car looks.

This is two of us committed to the GT1 / GTR theme and I know that 01Lambiero (Jim) is also thinking of going this route on his Diablo build.

The car is turning out awesome and working out the extra details will really set this car apart from others.  Please keep the posts coming and thanks again for joining.

Are you going to get a wing for your car Chris?  This is something I’ve been wanting for mine but haven’t found any place that sells them, except for eBay and they are all super expensive.  Let me know if you know of one.

[No Bull]

Glad to see you join us here.
