Thanks dudes.
The flares have been finished - molds were made, and beautiful fiberglass pieces were created. The car is now back on the ground, and we'll be focusing on the mechanical stuff and whatever else is needed to get this thing driving.
Pics soon.

Here we go.
I got distracted for a couple months wrapping up the resurrection of this tr3, that was literally a barn (garage) find. It had been sitting in a garage since 1977, where it was parked due to a bad valve. The head was taken off, and the car just sat until last September. Anyways, a year later, I got it back on the road. It sold a couple weeks ago, and is on it's way to France. I'm the guy in the 2nd picture below.
But you guys don't care about 57 year old triumphs...you're here to see the FrankenTriumph!
As mentioned previously, the car is finally back on the ground. The flares are mostly done, they just need a little trimming dialing in to be perfect.
My fabricator has been playing around with casting, and made a couple cool pieces:
A new grill badge
And Accusump mounts (These are for sale for anybody interested, but they're not cheap).
The roll cage mounts were revised. This thing will be fully removable, but goes through the floor and mounts directly to the frame. It will look like a weld in cage, when it's installed in the car.
Here is how the car looks now. It's like nothing ever happened! We're focusing on the mechanical stuff now, so stay tuned for more progress.

Fantastic build, what are you planning to do with wiring? I know you said in the first post you were going to use painless wiring... I ask because, selfishly, I am building a datsun 510 with a F20C and after plumping a fuel cell I need to tackle wiring...

Wiring
Stedfast -that's on the list for us to tackle soon.
The plan is to use the oem f20c wiring harness. Because some of the gauges I'm using are aftermarket, we'll make a mini-harness that connects the sensors to the gauges.
The painless wiring kit will handle everything from tail lights to head lamps, and all the basics.
Are you using the original s2000 cluster? I'm going to be getting rid of mine soon, as well as a custom harness that bypasses the security feature and negates the need to use the factory starter or any of that stuff.
