"Refitted the Vin plate & the engine number to the car"

Glad to see your keeping some original, bog standard features on the car
That's to pretty to drive. I think you should knock the kitchen wall out and park it in there so you can look at it whilst eating your cornflakes every morning!
Almost there now.

[RussellG]

Thanks guys

It will most definitely be getting driven in the near future

Great work. Not long now.

Bit like the new Zonda headlight arrangement though, once you see the face in the dash centre....

Are you planning on 'showing' this car? You really have run it to the ninth' degree.

[RussellG]

It was never my original plan. I did however say that I wasn't building this car to a price. I would build it exactly as I wanted without any compromise

[FWDRacer]

Have you got those rear lights changed yet?

Havent changed them yet. Not sure what to replace them with.

A couple of minor things still to do including fitting an electric auxiliary cooling fan & then its a waiting game till the new V5 arrives.

do you not think your heater air intake will suck water in russel???

Thought of that, so there is a lip on the inside on the bottom edge & some tiny drain holes at the lowest point on the intake. Only time well tell if this will work. But if it doesn't I will just unbolt it and fit a redesigned one on instead.
