I know I know no update, manage to lose 2 storage spaces in a week so been shifting cars like mad and havent had time to really get anything much done between that show season starting and life in general Heres a pic of it a few weeks ago hand rolled front arches and more fitment items done lower profile tyre for checking height dropped etc etc i am fairly happy with the ride height, still waiting on sills  Hand has been forced to move the supra to work early so when the welding is done on the rovaru the supra will commence at a similar rate to the rovaru    Ash |

Very jealous of the supra, wish I'd got one when I had the chance when they were cheap. Such a great shape.
Also think the rovaru is great, looking forward to seeing it complete

Every one of my projects went through the 'shed being used to store parts for....'' stage. It's a bit like allowing time for cheese to mature.

How much power are you aiming for as mine is already at 400bhp and I need to know what I'll have to up it too  |

Nice work. Make it look so simple (I know it's not). Can't wait to see it finished.

Very impressive build, and a mad concept! Nice as the black moonstone paint is, I'd be really tempted to stick with the original metallic beige! Went to the Pride of Longbridge show earlier this summer and it was the sleepers that really appealed to me.

Suitably mad. My first car was a Diesel bubble shape 200. Fond memories of the thing, and still some regret at dropping it off at the scrap yard. I must also ask, how are you pronouncing Rovaru? The simple Rover-roo, or a Shooting Stars esque Ro-varr-rooh!!!? rover-oooooh... i would think! |
