top stuff , the grin becomes permanent eventually

well done - I admire the effort you have put in there

but do you think it would have been easier and cheaper to buy a better condition car ?

Hi Gadgeroonie, got the car for a very good price and was very tight on budget so buying a more expensive car was not a option , to be honest alot of the problems were hidden and even a better car would not be to the standard i wanted ,alot of the stuff i have done is imo a improvement on std . plus i love working on cars biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

"plus i love working on cars"

i can see that - fair play for all the effort

can you make any custom parts for the Nobles - ie splitters, wing end plates, air scoops ?

you may have a market for them on here
