It's all their fault!The road/track car came up for sale last year and got me thinking.....
Stuart and Simon are well aware and very encouraging! I am renting their bumper moulds..
Absolutely fking ridiculous. A total waste of money.
Great work
On a serious note: yes it was a tidy road car. Sell the parts you remove, at 'mates rates' if need be. Then you'll be helping to keep others roadworthy and the whole project is worth while for a number of reasons.
Also, as for DEBRA - good man.

Superb... Heard the rumble from this when arriving at a PH meet last month, looked in my rear view mirror and saw a smart looking Bentley; assumed the rumble was from something behind that... err, no... thought you looked a bit short sat in the driver's seat too, found out why when I peeked inside

A Merlin is a no brainer for the sound surely?
The Meteor was a tank based version of the Merlin, so essentially it is a Merlin but with no supercharger. It'd sound epic, either way! Crowds said:
cant see this doing anything other than handling like a barge on track with out serious weight saving and a lot of money being spent.... what is the suspension like? what are the brakes like?
I think you missed the point?It's been done 'just because' not to be the be all and end all of track day gear.
I applaud the OP for doing it!

Hmmmm.Doncha just lurrrvve PH?
Have you ever driven a Turbo R? The "R" means roadholding - and so it should with 1 1/4" anti roll bars. Brakes? Two, yes two calipers to each front wheel with a Citroen full power system.
Why am I bothering justifying this to you? Go drive one, then get back to me.
Now, having got that off my chest! Thanks for all the +ve comments. Sparco steering wheel arrived today - from Latvia! Well, only £33 with the g/change buttons and Alcantara and Leather... mmmm. Has BMW boss if anyone is interested!
More anon.
