1303 RS second version

Hi all!
Finally I´m starting to rebuild my 03. The body has some bad spots that needs to be welded and I´we decided to go with wider fenders and 18" instead of the 17" cup. New brakes, rollcage and some cf parts are sitting on the shelf whaiting to be installed after the paintjob.

Heres some pics of the progress, hope you like it. Please comment.

good luck with your project, Lots of work, but you look like you have a good handle on it. How much did you pay for the replacement panel?
Good for you for getting together the parts you need, instead of waiting for parts, Good luck, it looks good JR

Thanks for your kind comments.

JR: I don´t know what the exact price for the panels is but I payd around 200$ for them.

Chris: Nope, the fenders are Kerscher. Remmele (or Carbon Joe) will supply me with the wider cf bumpers and runningboards and maybe front hood/lid.

What´s your opinion on the wheels?

Mathias

Bug Run is my Goal... Planning to have the car ready for paint in 3-4 weeks and then it´s only the fun part left - assembly!

This is if the engine will run...it has been standing still for two years now.

Nice, very nice. What rim size and how wide tyres are you going to use? Waiting for your finished effort!

Thank you for the heartwarming coments.

The rims are RH Cuprad, 3-piece. 8,5x18 in front and 10,5 in the back
Should be 9,5" but RH sent the whrong rim...what can you say...

Tires will be 215/35 in front and 285/30 in the rear. Guess I will loose some horsepower on this setup but man does it look wide!
