I like the Diablo the best out of any Lambo ever built, seen em as low as 80 grand on ebay and the Fiero kit cars for 40 grand lol but this one is definitely looking good. I think the Countach kit's are the cheapest going for 20 grand all built up looking good..

We go through soo much monster at my garage also!

Looks like you have awesome dedication. I love seeing custom work like this. Its such an inspiration to get out and wrench.

Is it going to be the orange you painted the seats?

You would be surprised how many Irish people dislike Guinness.


On topic, crazy amount of work in this thing. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Where in Ireland are you from?

Cheers guys am wrapping the car ice white so i wont be painting it as we have crap weather over here and all panels are fiberglass so wrapping is the only way to go. Am in Co. Wicklow over here down the south east coast. No i don't drink any beer never have and never will just very big into my cars that where all my money goes :-).

Over 9,800 hours have gone into this kit car just over 3 years of work over 2,500 nuts and bolts and washers, 1000 sanding discs, 30 meters of fiberglass etc

It takes real discipline to do a project like this, not drink alcohol I wish I could keep a clear head at all times.. Excellent work all around... Is that a OEM celica dash cluster you built off of? Why not just go all independent gauges or are you trying to replicate the Lambo all the way around ?

Finally painted the sills and other bits
