very nice, although not such fan of those 'race' stripes.

the build took approximately....8months from start to finish. The engine didn't need a rebuild as it only had 2hrs of race time on it. A new chassis was put on and repairs to the existing shell. The amount of new parts is a lot though as I am amazed at how much you find and say to yourself...well if I am doing this I might as well do that.

Well done. It took the same time for my race car and still paying for more new bits and upgrading.

It was great fun with over 100 cars but a sad end as we had a fatally on day two. We did ok but had an off on the second stage so sadly couldn't continue. If there is an event in the UK in June I will have the car ready again before bringing it over to Mallorca again.

Also if anyone is interested to come to Mallorca with there TVR's to do a classic hill climb and finish off the weekend on the track here....let me know as we have a good club. Www.drivingmallorca.com.

sad to hear about a fatality frown

Car looks good - how good (or not ) were the LED spotlights?

I'll check for events in June
