Cheers Robert love the site and RX7 am purchasing one next March and then im ordering the Veilside Fortune kit will post a build diary up as soon as i start

Yip that Lamborghini Murcielago its taken about a year to get it to where it is today i custom built the dash its in carbon fiber

 

I'm jealous...I was actually looking into doing this cause I had access to a mr2 chassis as well. Welcome to the forum! I'm new myself. What co. did you go with to buy the kit if you don't mind me asking?

 

Cheers guys it one of the hardest kit in the kit car industry to build and they are right i have put blood (literly) sweat (alot of) Tears (some areas i nearlt gave up).

The whole car is nearly custom made as i have made changes to the kit the crowd that makes the kit is http://www.extreme-sportscars.com/murci/index.html i didnt buy my kit off these guys i purchased it from a guy here in Ireland that didnt know what he was doing but be very careful with this crowd as they usually dont provide all the parts and you will be left with out them.

This is the car when i bought it the previous owner tried to make the frame himself

Everything removed

This was taken 6 months ago beside my 7 series

Here is the custom dash i made

Here it is in carbon fiber

 

if that 1st pic is the end result its a mental transformation!

 

Yip the Lambo replica has come along way about a full years work at it now
Am wondering if you guys can help me i am going to purchase a Veilside Fortune kit is it a hard build ??

Hey Sean,

Replied to your pm, will mail you this w/end.

Not going to lie, the fortune kit is a bloody headache, but from the looks of things compared to what you're doing now I think you'll handle it fine. Just a lot of fitting and refitting and regardless of what vs says, the parts don't all line up so there's some work there too but if you can do that lambo, you won't struggle with a vs.

 

@ Silhouette - Cheers for the PM looking forward to your e-mail and great to have a reply from somebody thats actually built a VS Fortune kit.

very cool project... i've never seen a Murcielago kit done before, keep posting pictures and would love to see this thing finished!
