Wonderful result Mike. The attention to detail is unsurpassed. Things are looking fantastic. *
You must be well pleased and I am looking forward to seeing it all come together on the road.

Regards
Mike

* With the exception of Rob's specs which are a disaster. If only the same expertise had gone into fitting them! Must have been to........?

The date code on the tyres will have expired by the time this car gets on the road ;)

Lovely work on the engine. That is a truly impressive set of numbers for a 3.0 NA engine that is even slightly tractable.

I'll now need to go back a read the thread again to remind myself of the spec!

Very impressive, Mike! Who did your pump finally? Was it Koller or somebody else?

Cheers,
