1. How many hours will that sink all together do you think?

2. Always thought you needed more space!

3. Is Mike still coming in day-to-day - there was a rumour he’d stepped back?
1. a lot of hours have gone into the chassis already, we decided to weld all the holes up so when fixing the panels we can drill new ones, it a labour of love tho, so not counting.

2. its like the Tardis at Carrera Sport

3. yes Mike is in everyday, wild bulls could not keep him away

Anyone good at puzzles, working out where the inner panels should be located

This is what happens if you take the car to Iain Tyrrell with a funny noise… ‘while you’re in there’

HAHA, this only came in for an MOT

That looks very brave without a factory jig guys, there isn’t unchanged to it I look forward to it coming together.
we have jigged and replaced the front screen / roof supports and the chassis's suspension pick up points have all been checked.
