[Mikebentley]

Absolutely wonderful. That is perfection.

[gobshite]

Need more info, pictures.

This is epic

[GR_WILL]

Wow, that is immense!

[Usget]

Oh my God, that is amazing. Please post a video of it starting up and running! And driving! What's it like!

[gf15]

Truely wonderful!
Well done on completing so much of the work yourself. A quick video would be great.

[TR4man]

That is fantastic!

Have you thought about starting a separate thread with more details and photos?

[firemunki]

Brilliant, but it really needs a video! I want to hear want that monster sounds like.

[Bobberoo99]

Followed this from the start, huge congratulations on getting it finished, the body just looks so right!!!

[F1natic]

The only word I can think of when I see the final result of your effort is Magnificent.

[generationx]

Don't know how I just came across this thread: Fabulous!

I love throwaway lines like "wanted to make my bodywork so took English Wheel lessons" - proper commitment.

Guys..texasmongrel is not the OP, his project has gone very quiet.

[Usget]

Doesn't matter who posted the original thread does it?!

I'm very aware of that, but since Texas mongrel sort of took up the reins i've continued to follow it!!

Indeed, it was the OP that suggested TM use this thread too.

Epic work, really great to see it finished.

The reason we are not listening to it running is what? Because we need that

[SpeckledJim]

Oh. My. Goodness.

PH winner, 2021.

£7,500 plus VAT apparently.

Greetings all, long time no see!

I'm still here! However, a Sea King helicopter, a very silly trackday car (and racing a friend's car), a derelict Green Goddess, a girlfriend, 18 months of covid restrictions and a refurbishment of a new house have all got somewhat in the way in the intervening time. Not to mention the 4, yes 4 Phantom jets I've let myself be roped to helping restore and transport parts for.
All of this is on top of my full time job too ... If only I could retire, I'd have enough time for all my hobbies




So anyway, what of my Meteor? For now it still slumbers safely wrapped up under the counter in my workshop (which, being an hour's drive away, doesn't help for spur of the moment tinkering), and now life is beginning to calm down I promise on Scouts Honour it will soon be getting the attention it deserves!
However, I'm now a bit sad, as I know whatever I produce won't come close to being in the same league as TM's amazing creation

[Mr Tidy]

TMs' creation is pretty stunning, but at least yours is still ongoing.

Hope you find some time for it soon.
