Hey looks good.

Certainly a great period colour really looking forward to getting mine fitted up and polished and out in the sun to see the real colour.

Best of luck with your project.

Monsier Aubergine comes home at last.
Now back from painters but still needs final polish before CLM. Back from DSD Motorwerks where most of the fitting up and engine works were carried out, superbly well I may add.
Only got drivers seat in at the moment but goes to the trimmers next Monday for carpets and panels etc.
Got Mot and tax yesterday so time to hit the road.
Done a 200 mile drive yesterday and it didn't miss a beat great fun all be it under 4000rpm.

Will try to do another 200ish miles today but weather looks iffy.
Looking forward to meeting some of you guys at CLM.

Planning on going without sill trim at the moment. Trying to get a slight hot rod look hence planning to drop it down by about 25-30mm.
Bit of a work in progress really, I still have the old sills so may offer them up to see what it looks like.

I am camping elsewhere but it would be good to meet up with some you.
Maybe a mass meet could be planned as I think quite a few other people are camping in different locations.

any normal year and we meet on the 2nd chicane on the mulsanne on Fri at around 10am ... unfortunately this year a large number of cars won't be arriving until after lunch on the Friday & by then the roads will have closed.

For anyone that is there Fri am, its a good place to have a mini DDK meet & photo
