Great work John.

Gorgeous John, simply gorgeous. A credit to you and a great thread. A much improved colour don't you think?

A little disappointed you say it's finished when it isn't. I will have to keep my eye on you. :wink:

The under bonnet lights need fitted.

Regards
Mike

Damn you Mike :lol: the hole for the lamps in the £1200 bonnet are too small for the lamp units. I may sort that tomorrow.

Thanks for the support and very kind words. It's a great place to hang out, don't tell too many people, DDK rules.

Hearty congratulations for an epic achievement - my favourite thread on the site and the one that really sucked me into DDK :)

Great to see your car finished although will certainly miss the thread - I'll now have to hassle Andy to find out what's happening to his 904 :wink:

Look forward to seeing you and the car again in a couple of weeks :cheers:

All the best and thanks for the inspiration.

Cheers,

Well done. What a fantastic thread to follow this has been for an aspiring pre-74 owner!

Congratulations & enjoy CLM in it. I hope to attend the next one as I think after six years of 'normal' le mans it's time to give something else a shot.
