Thank you Paul, it will be nice.
And then I'll drive it and ruin it all. You can bet I will...

Cheers Jason.

I pictured the tyres earlier, we now have the rims ready to go, so the car should be off the ramps and rolling soon.

Paul,

I know exactly what the car will look like from combination of the pictures you have posted and from images of similar cars. Still very excited to see the finished article, I can only imagine how excited you are to get it out for a drive.

Its a pity you cant transport it to Spain or Italy for a tour through the mountains, GB roads at the moment are covered in salt.

Stunning build as said before.

How about assembling a time lapse sequence of photos from purchase to 'on the road'

First engine start is scheduled for ...... and a video please

The unveiling has something to live up to though from previous experience. It is where you explain this is in fact a 1/8 model and has been sold to a model collector, and explain that instead you bought a certain silver RSR from Mike for Nick to look after.

Refinished in rural Sussex.

Some important outer panels now going back on the car.

Err.. all lovely but is that the 'spare' bonnet with the badge? Are you planning a grand reveal for the one with stripes?

Lovely indeed

...I hope to be able to post my own matching (but a bit narrower!) photo of another rural Sussex refurb in a few weeks

!0 minutes ago the engine was in the car?

A very striking car indeed.
Looks murderous on an iPad!!

Thanks, it will be a shame to splatter these with salty road grime...
