Thank you

Cool. Good to know it passed the Darren test!

And the car looks absolutely stunning!

Just wow! What a stunner!! Can’t wait to see it in action. Wales weekend, here we come ( - ;

Love the front shots, just looks so period . Very cool

Stunning

The decals really finish it off, love the colour combination.

Lovely car.
That ride height will make it very usable and stands just right.
Did CG decide on the height or is that 'factory' too?

Wow. Best to clear some space in your Mrs' gym

Sensational Darren. Its one stunning car and can't wait to see it being thrashed around Oulton Park on a track day.

Thanks Graham, was a combination of factory spec and Chris's vast experience......this one will require a degree of development for sure. I'm not 100% on the 935 type spring plates and may revert back to a coil over and torsion bar set-up. Also rear tyres may prove to be too large which mean a tad too much rake than desired. Factory tyre sizes were 215/60 front and 235/60 rears, with the rears no longer available the choice was 225 or 245 and I opted for the latter. I went large!
I could try some 225's on the front which would give an identical 10mm extra width and 6mm height to both front and rear respectively over factory spec and see how that goes, this would balance the rake issue and if it doesn't work could put the 225's on the rear?
All a little academic for now and I'll give the car a good shakedown in its current form before I decide on any changes. Ultimately it may be just perfect as it is!

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps. Tantalising close to the final hurdle but the best pics are still yet to come!

Cheers,

All good- dazzling as ever- looking forward to seeing this!!

Seen it in the flesh again yesterday Darren. Looking even better with the script.

Thanks chaps

Shame a few bits of anodising and camshaft woes stopped it being at LMC with us next week Dave but not far to go now

Ok mate, you win again !! 'Kin epic, well worth the wait and all the effort. Hats off, it looks amazing!!

Are you sure about the blue ? . Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point


Big question...Whats next ?

Georgeous (but then we never doubted that it would be, with your attention to detail).



However, Mr Parr will be along shortly to ensure that all the nuts are lined up correctly.

Lovely……
