So the car is now with Gary Cook for final assembly. Here are some shots as final build has progressed......










Wonder if this will be any good ??



















I know it's the wrong lighter , but it's the one I wanted use.

New webbing and belt labels supplied by Stretch..







Glass in












Not all plain sailing.. one of the calipers leaked overnight so strut had to come off for repainting.




Problem was a faulty flexi..















MSD relocated to inside the cabin, under the passenger seat..

Looks amazing .... I'd have to put black plates on though

.....but they had changed to yellow/white by then.....maybe metal plates with the pressed on letters rather than Perspex.

Car looks amazing in the flesh too, great job Kieron

Ready for summer!

I know they had ... doesn’t mean it looks good though

As you say.. if you want to keep the white and yellow for the sole reason the car started off like that , at least go for the proper original style

[aston]

You're both right those plates have been bugging me, I'm going to get them changed.

soon be over wonder if he will let me drive it ?

Wonder what's next ... 993, 964 ... or new kitchen

Looks amazing. I saw your car when I was at Gary's a few weeks ago. Well done. I need to get one of those BS AU plates.
Kind regards

I’ve just read the whole thing again from start to finish. I’d forgotten just how much has gone into this shell.

Wonderful stuff, and a benchmark build.
