Thanks for the positive feedback guys
To answer a few questions....

- 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!

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

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

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!

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.

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!
