The fuel pipes are a work of work on their own with the clips and the siamese pair in the middle, looks fab!

Lol, the cars sitting in the garage during lockdown was torture enough......driven it will be! :)

Visually #9092 is very much the look I want to emulate although spec will vary with half roll hoop, 110ltr fuel tank, Lollipop seats etc......and most importantly an RSR spec 300HP engine on slide injection looking more like this 8) .....
