Update

We have removed all rust in the engine room and painted it. The hood have been painted also and we have also mounted a hood scoop, but we don't gonna use that hood later when we gonna get the final paint on the car. Don't have any pictures on the engine room and the hood, gonna take some picture later. 

Sideskirts have been modified and mounted, we test mounted the BMW sideskirts and it didn't look good. So we modified the Peugeot 405 Mi16 sideskirts and mounted them and it is much better. The Peugeot 405 Mi16 have to been extended 4.5CM to fit the 505. We remove the trim beneath the doors and mounted the sideskirt in trim standard screw holes and we also used strong glue to fix the sideskirts. And we fabricated holds that we mounted under the car that also fix the sideskirts. 

The bumper mold is finished and I have mold plastic on it. Now I need to do some more work on it to get a smooth surface before I paint it. 

First time ever for us to do work in plastic, so it have been a good learning experience

We have been out and test drive the Project car 2 and I borrowed my friends digital video camera. I have edit a short clip (3 minutes and 20 seconds) from the test drive but I got some difficulties to compress the video, I will try to find a solution asap and upload the video

Update

That's wheel adapters. They are custom made by Manton Racing. When we order the wheel adapter we send in rear and front hubs so the could use the hubs as a template. 

Specification for the wheel adapters is 4x140 to 4x114.3 each wheel adapter is 25mm thick.

We have also purchase new rims and tires from Molway AB.

Specification for rims and tires:

* Bellini BELLA Hyper Black 17 x 7,0 (ET40)

* Sumitomo HTR50Z ZR 205/50 x 17

The hard part was to find rims that will fit nicely on the Peugeot 505 and with the wheel adapter that not widen the car to much. We think we did the right decision for the rims  

And the final result
