Steady I think is the word. Project still progressing but not much to see at the moment. All those little bits that take time....

A quick update for you:

Chassis/brakes/suspension all done and car sitting on it's wheels.
All major engineering complete.
V12 Engine/gearbox/cooling - almost complete and should be good for xxx BHP. Engine mg't ready to install. Needs dyno.
Wiring - Loom not far off
Exhaust system - done
Pipework - brakes not connected up yet
Interior - done
Bodywork - all more or less ready to paint (some work needed on the doors.)
Car is already registered with original plate (BFV)

I keep meaning to take some pictures... I'll definitely post something up before Xmas seen as were reaching the shiny stage. W112 BHG (just the heads to put back together!)

Hope it makes chatsworth in the future, would love to have a look at this. Last one I saw was the purple one I think at a motorshow when they released the LHD Sagaris. Epic race car, Insane road car. I do miss TVR in the Brit GT's.

I'm loving this project and can't wait to see the car.

Should we start PMing you our addresses so you can calculate the most efficient route for when bringing the car around to our homes as thanks for all our moral support? biggrin



From FB: 'BHG stealing all the looks at Goodwood earlier this year.'


Not 'all' the looks. Just 'most' wink

Never mind the tissues, you're going to need an extra driver when you decide to take them both out...

You have my number, don't you? biggrin

I don't even understand it enough to get banned. I follow links like this one and am left wondering if I'm actually 90 years old and completely lost with the modern world.
