Tom's ST-II ?, ST bumper + GT Four hood + Tom's lip + more HP's? Options

[Urputus]

I was thinking about some modifications of the exterior of my facelifted ST since PECM 2007, which was a great inspiration to me. First I wanted to add a Tom's lip, but it wasn't easy to get one to Czech republic, …an original one. Then I saw the making of Malpaso’s SS-Four and realized that just Tom’s lip would not be enough for me . So I asked Malpaso to help me finding a solution, where I can use the parts I already have and create something unique.

The final idea was presented in this topic for the first time. Just to recall what's going to happen to the car:
- the ST/GT bumper will stay untouched;
- shave the gap in front of the GT-Four hood to fit ST/GT bumper;
- use OEM JDM-dealers option front lip (well known as TOM'S lip);
- use OEM Euro-dealers option rear lip;
- use OEM side skirts;
- and may be change of paint color.

I was wandering how to name this project. Martin used the name GT-II, but I'm afraid that this name was already used by some guy in Croatia? As I don't know this for sure, let's make it Tom's GT-II (without the smile of course )

In the first phase of the project most of the interior parts were dismantled before we went to bodyman. Only the dashboard, steering wheel and front seats were left in the car. Here are some pictures from the projects “first hour”:








In the second phase the hood will be modified to fit the ST/GT front bumper and there is some necessary work on other parts of the car – to prevent rust, repair some dents etc. This will happen within next two weeks. I hope I get some pictures from the bodyman so we don't have to wait two weeks for the progress .

I did a bit of cleaning of the cockpit this weekend. Also checking what parts were destroyed, are missing or were too old that I have to replace them with new ones. So I made a list and today ordered all necessary parts. I hope that will be it for some time, as the list was pretty long and some parts were really not cheap

Bellow you may see the result of sweeping of the cockpit:






Only a few last interior parts were not installed yet, but next week it will be ready, I'm sure. The cockpit was looking like new after cleaning, only it was too dark outside to make some nice pictures of it. May be next time
The next day I went to Malpaso for some new parts. The sun was shining weakly for a few minutes so I made some pictures. This one was the only one, that wasn't overexposed, so you can see another shade of red


Other parts are on its way to me, so I hope the car is ready for some other changes (I'm not decided yet, so I'm not going to present any details yet)
