Your car is starting to look great again!!!

 

It still looks the same

Will be nice once all the new body work is on and painted in a week or two.

 

Im quite on your side when you say you want to keep it 100% stock...i do not like 560 front end conversions there always seems to be a small gap in between bumper and hood...On another note the fact you do NOT have a clear engine bonnet like 90% of gallardos do now is always a big HELL YA...The only thing id update is switch out the orange turn signals with Eurospec clear ones and completly remove the rear red ones...All in all you has a wicked ride sir.

 

I think they all have a gap there honestly, even the OEM one, maybe it does look a little bigger on some of the conversions. Maybe I'll change out the signals one day, but the amber doesn't look so bad on the silver IMO. Clear bonnets weren't even available when my car was built. I rather have the lighter cover than the glass anyway though. If there's one thing I have to give to the 430 over the G it's that the engine bay looks fantastic, the G's is a bit austere. Oddly enough a few days before the wreck some guy was telling me how he liked that it wasn't as flashy as the Ferrari's.

 

Stopped by the paint shop today. Couldn't see too much because the car was actually in the paint booth getting painted and the windows were pretty hazy with paint splatter. Much of the car was covered in the booth and many pieces weren't on the car, so I'm not actually sure what they were painting in there!

Walking around the shop I saw the driver door had been removed and primed in a few spots. New bumper was also primed.

The old diffuser and wheel wells were in a trash heap. The old bumper was hanging on a rack along with the new inner bumper support. The new fender was also still on a rack unpainted and unprimed.

 

Looking like things are advancing a little at least. Hopefully its gonna be ready for the spring.

Stay positive!!

 

 

Seems like they are making progress. The car is gonna end up great! I Can also see why you love your car, i've watched all your vids on youtube. (atleast i think its you) Good luck!

 

Paint is finished! They are currently reassembling the car. From what I've seen that's already on the car (rear bumper, fender, rocker panels) the colour looks perfect.

Should be back at the shop for the rest of the repairs by the start of next week. Suspension parts and oil seal are still a solid week out so they'll start with fixing the frame until they arrive.

 

Car is back at Audi Prestige for the rest of the mechanical stuff. Went to go look at the completed paint work and everything looks great. New diffuser is installed, just the wheel well liners are missing. A closer look revealed another plastic bit in the wheel well was broken and will also need replacing. #11 on the diagram.

Hope to have the suspension bits in by the end of the week.
