Thank you Paul, it will be nice.
And then I'll drive it and ruin it all. You can bet I will...

Cheers Jason.
I pictured the tyres earlier, we now have the rims ready to go, so the car should be off the ramps and rolling soon.

Paul,
I know exactly what the car will look like from combination of the pictures you have posted and from images of similar cars. Still very excited to see the finished article, I can only imagine how excited you are to get it out for a drive.
Its a pity you cant transport it to Spain or Italy for a tour through the mountains, GB roads at the moment are covered in salt.

Stunning build as said before.
How about assembling a time lapse sequence of photos from purchase to 'on the road'
First engine start is scheduled for ...... and a video please
The unveiling has something to live up to though from previous experience. It is where you explain this is in fact a 1/8 model and has been sold to a model collector, and explain that instead you bought a certain silver RSR from Mike for Nick to look after.

Err.. all lovely but is that the 'spare' bonnet with the badge? Are you planning a grand reveal for the one with stripes?

Lovely indeed
...I hope to be able to post my own matching (but a bit narrower!) photo of another rural Sussex refurb in a few weeks
