What I want to see done, I make. (or I have a friend tha owns a company to make it if it needs to be absolutely perfect.)

So far, I have done many misc. small parts, a massive sub box for a mkIV supra, dash panels, filler panels, my crowning achievment, MKII cf ttops, a full interior for a 94 RX-7, and in the middle of the full interior in my 91T. The rest is all military (I am a fabricator for a company that makes the worlds toughest military and fire trucks www.oshkoshtruck.com ) The entire front ends of the HET, Wheeled Tanker, and MTVR are all composite. So are the new Revolution(c) drums for our larger S series cement mixers. Our highland Cement trucks use a 100% composite cab.

MKII Ttops (I'm selling these in a GB on the other board)

I didn't actually do the work on these, they were manufactured by Chaser Aero since they had to be EXACT to keep from leaking and wind noise. They are my connection when perfection or large quanities are required. I'm just the middle man with these. All of my other stuff, I made my self though. Including the prototype ttops (went with 3 different designs before I said screw it and went professional)

I love those t-tops, but can't justify the cost

If you did start doing MK1 parts for fun, I'd like to see basically all the interior plastic redone in CF. I would like to see my car be a mix of FG, CF, and metal.

I could go for some doorpanels. I want ones like medpilot made a while back that replace the leather or cloth area with a carbon fiber panel.
