It's having an sir / vtec front end and a black interior. Most of the early spec stuff has been sold anyways so I could buy the new front end

Not many updates on the car itself, just mainly my skill progression!
Spent a good 3 Hours with the welder today...
Managed to get some good penetration going on there! most of the welds are single spot welds at 2 second blasts (and repeated in a line), i managed to start to start a pool weld and drag it aswell!
Im not confident to start cutting the EF2 apart!
Also this arrived.
