Paul, been a bit wrapped up in my own build and missed these latest updates.

This car is mesmerising. Not just the colour, but the seats, the metalwork, the detail.

Great job that man. Can't be long til you get those drive shafts fitted can it?

Just talking to richard about his car today, and I was saying isn't it great to see these cars with their bold bright colours. Modern car blacks and silvers are so so boring.

Car looks terrific, you must be very pleased.

Kind regards.
