[green-lantern]

I like it, not exactly what I would do but it's tastefully done. The more I look at it the more I like it really. Good job and welcome to the forum.

Simon, welcome to the forum :)

Did you perform all the work yourself?

As others have said, it's different from what most of us are used to seeing, but I don't think it's hatefull.

It looks to me like you had a plan and executed it in a very tasteful manner.

Tell us more about yourself and the car....

Bob. :)

I agree with the others. Looks like you did a great job! I actually used to have an pearl white SL with a black roof kind of like yours (rest of the body was stock, though)

Your vision has come to life, it seems.

Very good-looking and complete package, Simon.

Welcome to the board. :)

You should run it with no spoiler. I think it would look really nice!

i think it looks great with the stock spoiler. going without one just makes most cars (like this) look like the body melted and slid downward.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

Very, very, nice. Looks clean enough to eat off.

Congrats on finding somebody to work on it without fucking it up. Most of us become mechanics because people wont work on them or they do such a bad job we don't trust anybody anymore.

[Roybatty]

I like it. Distinct. Sounds like enough mods to have fun.

Like others have said, a number of us got tired paying 400 & some change 2 have spark plugs changed.
This platform will make you a mechanic sooner or later ;) welcome to forum.

Revel in your time

[Syndacate Saint]

Nice to see a different look on a 3/S!

[GTO-SIMON]

these cars are pretty rare over here now many people are braking them up for spares as they fetch more that way very sad,although its god for us buying parts, i take my car to eurospec about 100 miles from where i live there is nothing he dont no about these cars .,he has a gto pushing out over 1000 bhp ,i have a garage over the road from me who i let change oils brakes the easy stuff ,once a year i will take it to euro spec for service and cheque over . thanks again for a kind welcome,simon

Hi Simon, as the others have said, your car is not what I would do as generaly I hate kits on cars. But yours has been done so well and is tastefull almost OEM, it does look better without the Veilside spoiler like the 99's I dont like the shopping trolley look & you can wave bye bye with the Aero.
Although I have done all the work on mine myself it would have been nice to let Eurospec or GTPete do the work for me.

year i wish i could do more myself, but i am not very techy,so what ever i have done costs me,the jdl kit fit over original parts ,so the car could be put back to original but i like it as its a one of a kind a bit differant but still looks like a gto,simon
