Loving what your achieving with this build Darren and the attention to detail is amazing.
But you know, you could have saved yourself a lot of time and effort if you had bought this

I think what bothers me about this project is that it is probably more authentic than many of the originals. That will be the give away that this isn't the real deal.

Where is the paint? Still want to know what colour it is going to be.
The force is strong in this one ......

No, silvery blue with a tint of Sepia.

Fabulous shots to a very special build.
No wonder you want a few days to soak it in as it is in the raw, always a special moment I think, for us all in this car's case!

Rain coming in, so time for Rich to get going.

....possibly a few quid too! :?

.....forums are nothing without content!.......I can't do the clever building, fabricating and fixing things like others but I can take photos. My excuse anyway! :wink:

Gentleman, thank you all for the kind words, it is always appreciated :)

The next stage may take some time.....

Seems a shame to cover it in paint.
