    <p>Hi all, had GT86 a month now and haven't been about enough to have time to start a build thread, plus photos wouldn't work but sorted it now.</p><p>
    So as it stands 13 plate, Manual, red Gt86. All</p><p>
    Options I think nearly apart from full leather.</p><p>
    So what I've done already, well I had car a week, then went into the garage for the rocket bunny kit to be fitted. Seeing as GReddy wouldn't send me a kit I had to buy a knight racer one, and the fit was awful! So it's been painful but it's all most done now! Unfortunately knight racer have just tried to play it dumb, even though I've now found out loads of people's have had issues with these, but I was reassured when I Purchased the kit it was a new mould and was 100% right... </p><p>
    Anyway onto down pictures:</p><p>

    This was one of the nearer fitting parts (other photos I won't post) </p><p>
