Looks great! What’s the inside of the clams painted with, is it some sort of bed liner?

Love this build! If I ever won the lottery and had unlimited funds, instead (ok, aswell) of the usual supercar, I'd do something like this.

£50 to charity to join you on your first track day? hehe

Really like the colour you have chosen.
That is going to be an absolute track animal.
Looking forward to hearing your first on road/track report.

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing thread! Great work good sir, I don't even want to think what that will have cost once finished.

Watching with interest! Gorgeous car.

Bookmarked. Fantastic op. I had a mk1 Elise and always wanted more power to go with the go kart handling

Firmly bookmarked; tastefully executed. Looks like really top quality components and workmanship going into the build.

praise indeed, if you are, who I think you are...it's Porsche Miami Blue, it is a great colour.

Need more updates, or just more pictures of where it's currently at!

This looks mega! Good luck with the rest of the build.
