Couple of shots to encourage anyone else 'enjoying' their build or to bring back some memories for those on the road!!

Graham turned up early as agreed to collect rolling chassis for the body pre-fit...........should be back with me next Friday in all it's orange glory!! Really pleased with the wheels now I've seen them fitted and rollin'.....

Good news from Jeff S as well....he's shipped the engine so with luck might be able to do a test install on the LS7 before end April...if I can avoid work for a while....laugh:

Agreed...Orange/black or black/black looks great.....Price wise not cheap I'm afraid....approx $4500 plus shipping & import......superb quality bit of kit though...

Thanks Pete!

Hopefully I can keep this rate of progress up for the next few weeks and really get the engine install sorted........really want to get everything in there positioned and routed before I pull the body back off to tackle the interior...in the end I have decided to go with the fully carpeted look with Alcantara roof/bulkhead lining like yours.....just hope I can get similar standard of finish!!

Any update on that engine of yours???

Thanks guys....

Clint....hopefully you'll catch sight of me in the not to distant future...pretty sure there's not many bright orange GTR's in Oulton Broad!! Obviously will be spending a few days at Snetterton so hopefully we can catch-up there......really like the 'works' look of the MGC...

Graeme...that's my old garage!!!! Despite your surroundings looks like a top job there....we look like we're at pretty similar stages.....LS7 also I see....hope it's gonna be orange........in fact I've decided all LS7 Ultimas must now be finished in orange only.......laughlaugh

Graeme,

Thanks for the interest!! Used to work for Heerema/HFG/HMC for many years but for the last few years worked exclusively for Exxon on international projects....
