Since the OEM grilles were way to expensive, I made my own by cutting out aluminum plate from a mocked up frame of the shape. I ordered hexagon screen from a grille shop and made a form to bend it to the proper shape

So its been a while since ive posted here, a lot has been going on. Ive always continued work on my car, and it has been a battle. I was going to do a mockup of the SV rear end, which I wasnt looking forward to tackling. I was able to find an OEM splash of the rear out in Vegas, so my wife and I took a drive out there to pick it up. The guy had them advertised for $2200+tax/shipping, but since I had cash he gave me everything for $1800 out the door. Modifications to make it fit my G28 platform were minor, I had to make new flanges on the rear quarters to match, and weld a frame that attaches to the Fiero to accept the OEM mounting areas on the bumper. I also had to maker a new exhaust tip, the LP640 size didnt fit this bumper, it required one the OEM one to look right. I mocked that up from dimensions I was able to find a cast a new one in CF fainted with high temp paint.

After much deliberation, I decided to do a wrap on the Lambo. Ive wanted to do it for quite a while, but never saw a wrap/color that I really liked until I saw this color, Satin Metallic Purple. My son and I have been working on it for 3 days now, taking our time to make it come out perfect.

Thank you Pedro! Sorry about the girl in the pictures, there always seems to be one sitting on it when I take it out for pictures.

Thanks for the good advice..
Willing to spend 35k
You are welcome. $35,000 might get you something that is drivable and resembles a Murcie. More realistically, you would need to double that amount. Are you also willing to commit to spending the next several years building it yourself? If not, triple the $35,000.
