Great stuff Darren,you must be well chuffed.
Didn't realise you were using filters. Are they the ones from Tech 9?

I have two sets of stacks Dougie and will leave the HB's open on occasions however this car will be doing a fair few miles so figured it safer with filters, these are direct from ITG.

Cheers,

Basic geo tomorrow, MOT Monday, lengthen the megaphones, fit a proper steering wheel and I guess that's about it!

Thanks for looking :)
Great stuff, not long now mate (I know I've said that 84 times now.... :P )

Thanks every one for all the support and kind words......hopefully I'll be able to rack up a few miles this week and sort a first service in anticipation of a proper drive the following week.....I'll then post what it sounds like when reaching those high notes! :P

Cheers,

A landmark occasion Darren - congratulations !

I'll bet it's a stunning sight (& sound) out on the road - look forward to seeing it at close quarters once it's fully run in & set up.

All very well Nick wearing earplugs but were the shorts strictly a good idea?! At least his trousers won't catch fire :shock:

.....thanks Andy, very much looking forward to seeing the 356 too, hopefully real soon.

Thanks once again guys......hoping I'm not getting ahead of myself in my excitement, still a little tweaking to do before it's road ready and all sorts of things can go wrong after a full rebuild. Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
