It is going to be so heavy when done, but talk about fabrication and detail skills, superb and interesting.
Too techie for TV but great it is on YouTube, maybe should be on Discovery, better than emotional shouting American Red Necks. (IMHO)

Not sure how it’s going to be “so heavy” - probs a bit more than stock but it’ll still be way lighter than our cars

35 minutes of riveting viewing just watching them sort out the windscreen wipers. Their ingenuity and workmanship is astounding and the workshop is so clean!!!!

Yup, laughed out loud at the fully powered harness and most of the ancillaries, sitting naked on the floor.
