Thanks!
Just recieved from Nick Fulljames who's working late into the evening so I can collect tomorrow...how cool is that!
Throttle and gear linkages sorted, drive shafts on, air regulator box in place...a few engine decals and she'll be just as she left the factory....tuned up and purring like a kitten (Nick's words!)...
I wonder if he'll go for a spin!

Well, done as far as Redtek are concerned....Nick said the car
'drives' beautifully!
A couple of weeks of sorting and then I get my turn!

It looks wonderful Darren and it is probably better than it was when it originally left the factory. It will be fabulous to drive it after all that hard work.
