Shows torque around 176 and max bhp 205. Thought this looed low in terms of the max torque but good on output. Not sure?
Good darts Tom. You definitely won’t be needing the 2.7 Carrera any more!
The force is strong in this one ......

7's will be coming off the rear and std 6's going on. Concerns raised about them rubbing and I think I prefer the slimmer look on the car, fine on the 2.7 but not sure it suits the nature on this one.

Popped in to see Gary this week and saw this car in the flesh, what a stunner it's become and the interior option will be something else! 8)

It's going be a unique and one very special car once finished, congrats Tom :thumbleft:

Darren,

Thanks for this, almost there. Will still take some work with the interior and the logistics of moving from Gary to here.

Hoping to get the 6" wheels down this week, engine in and let him drive it.

Love the dash inserts. With such a beautiful colour, I would want to see it on the inside too. Lovely touch
