Thanks for the positive feedback guys

To answer a few questions....

Car looks wonderful Darren - must be a bit of an anti-climax now that it's 'finished' though ?

- hence your (repeated) mention of a hankering for a swb (911T/R) project ...

No anti-climax Andy, just a little restless during the long dark cold winter evenings.........I would love a SWB project but that won't happen for a while yet, if ever!

....Didn't realise Redtek had a rolling road - that is good news as I would quite like to get my cars on their to check output etc.....

James is correct Feroz, it's a local set-up that Nick uses. Nick manages the session and makes all necessary adjustments etc.

.....Never managed to get my report from Nick when mine was on the RR . Must ask him again .

Redtek have appointed a new admin manager so that Nick can take a step back and concentrate on real work......worth giving the new guy Mark a call and asking for the report, he seems very efficient and will actually remember to send it!

What did you use to fix the rubber seal to the top of the bumper centre panel?.....

Gary Cook at GDC Automotive has small aluminium channels fabricated that he rivets on.....give him a call, I'm sure he'll be able to help.

Thanks again guys

Nice one Darren looks great.

I think the 2.4E engine in the Redtek picture is mine..

Car looks brilliant, given I am up in Glasgow and never likely to hear its screaming past me unless you plan a trip up around Scotland, get the video sorted!

It is Kieron and very nice too.....Nick enquired about the progress of your car tp make sure he was on track.

....get the video sorted!

Well kind of!

I'm still getting to grips with the GoPro and trying to stitch it all together is a learning curve!......I really should have taken the GoPro out of its case to capture the sound and boy do I wish the car was wearing megafones!

My apologies for the poor video quality and editing but you get the idea.....

The car looks wonderful Darren, a dream come true! Must be fun with that much power and relatively skinny tyres.

Sounds and looks epic, much deeper than I expected. Thanks for posting Darren.

Beautiful finishes and details everywhere. And it even goes! Probably quite well, I imagine.
Work of art.

Don't care what you say, there'll be a SWB in your life before the year's out... You know it makes sense!

Great result - and a great sound!
