Progress update:
So I took her on track for the first time, really enjoyed it and spent some time just getting used to track driving - had some tuition, and was probably a bit more cautious than needed due to first time out and wet conditions, however it increased my love and enjoyment for this little Frenchie!

I treated myself to some B14s straight after and have spent today fitting them, pics below;
First impressions.. well, the car now feels incredible

Thought I’d keep this thread going, so a little update - I had a change of heart and went back on a few things. Firstly, Recaros have been sold on and replaced with fixed bucket seats (Corbeau Sprint’s) and harnesses.
Secondly, I decided against my plans listed above to keep it n/a and have just completed an R26 conversion, absolutely over the moon with this little thing now, and I’m starting to accept there may never be an end to this project :tearsofjoy:
Some details on spec listed below pictures.

This is an awesome little beast !! Much inspiration to be had from your thread.
Slightly off topic......How did the set of the Oz setting you back ? Here down under [Australia] they are horribly expensive, but am getting more and more desperate to get my hands on a set of 8J's

Sorry I missed this somehow, thank you and in regards to the OZ they’re £1050 here in the UK, that’s for 17”x8J et55 spec
 
Little update on the DB Baguette, starting to feel like I’m getting to the end of my build now, with just a few little bits to sort/add and I can hopefully just about call it done - if that’s even a thing..
CAE or CAE style shifter / RenaultSport sideskirts will remain on the want list for the time being!

Very happy with the newly added half cage courtesy of JP Cages, and red UR strut brace to be added shortly, just need to sort something with my rear door cards.

Anyone looking for a rear cage worth keeping an eye on JP Cages page with regular group buys being run.

Did you just have a JP cage fitted?

Guy on FB with a similar car. Just putting 2 and 2 together!

Quite like the look of one myself
