It looks like quality work. With the correct size wheels this will look epic, haven't seen any pro street style SEC before, if anyone has post some pics.

Fortunately it has been purchased by a fella local to Kim and I. Hopefully he will pop his head up here and say hello. Looking forward to seeing it.
Popping head up and saying hello 😎
 
Hi team!

Owner of the above tubbed SEC!

She arrived last week!

first point of call is getting a custom centre mount exhaust on.

wide body kit with duck tail spoiler is being ordered tomorrow.

Doing a custom centre console with Billet Black aluminium buttons and dials. Interior is getting recarpeted and new leather.

Wheels will be getting some juicy custom 3 piece items made up. Not sure on colour yet. But after wide body goes on I’ll be measuring it up. Thinking 19’ front, 20 rear with the thickest tyre possible to keep the pro street look.

Will be YouTubing the build.

RBforged wheels, nice they made mine

Actually are you the same Lee who did the video on the speedboat glitter 500sec?
Hey Lewis!

can’t wait to get the wheels ordered from Ray. Did you have the SEL?

yep, same Lee. Have definitely taken a hard pivot on the speedboat glitter SEC. We have done a lot of mechanical work to get it ready for the pits. The black one will be on the market shortly.

I wanted to do a tub, and when this new one came up on the market with some wheels of value (to people other than myself) it financially made sense to take advantage of this one.
 
UPDATE

Full Accuair E-level system fitted. Thickest lines, Dual Compressor, Dual Tanks

Custom twin exhaust fitted

Stage 3 sound deadening completed (Dynamat, Acoustic foam and MLV).

NAPPA leather fitted to seats, door trims, Alcantara to A&C Pillar and roof lining.
