Excellent build and lovely pictures. Although I have seen the black accents 'in the flesh' I had forgotten how well it works. This car must be one of the most accurate replicas of an ST in the UK.

Daft question - have you not painted the lower part of the car yet? Looks like it is in black primer?
Ran out of paint Feroz. :wink:

Just read this thread all the way through again.Fantastic job and build.Minimal and functional is my preferred option for 911s, which is obviously a pre requisite for race cars.From an ownership perspective Id take this option over any "mainstream" restomod everytime.

Fab looking car Dave, you must be chuffed to bits with the finished car.
