Going to blackpool next week to see the car, only windows and a little paint to complete, a long old road but I'm sure the car is awesome. I will post some pictures next week after my visit to Mr Reid.

I was at John's most of Saturday , and the Tussy's starting to look rather lovely.

Lots of lightweight bespoke bits, kevlar/ally honeycombe side intrusion panels and some nice carbon fibre details.

It'l look stunning when finished, especiallly with the choice of wheels yum.

Over at Grantura today ,saw the Tuzzy and it's looking like a brand new car - now the painted bonnet's on and the new air boxes fitted.

AeroCatch panel fasteners and no filter cut outs make for a very nicely fitting bonnet - not something you see on many Challenge cars.

Reidy was expecting delivery of the newly finished wheel centres this pm - but had to go before they turned up.

With the wheels and paint combination it's going to look stunning - if it were mine i'd want to park it in the front room and look at it hehe , but it's a racer and hopefully we'll see it on track.

Thanks for the update on the car, I'm going to see the car next week, John did phone me a couple of weeks ago to tell me its almost done. I'm so looking forward to getting it on the track, the 4.7 engine should be a little scary I think.

Hi Mike, good to see you too.

No its not looking good...its great. An absolute masterpiece.
A show car for what CAN be done with a Tussie.
God knows how many hours are in that...I decided not to take pics as it will spoil it for when its ready. Bit like Jamie's Cerb GTF3 which is also nearly there.

Talking of pics, John said he'd sent you some recently but you'd not replied. Did you get them?

Thanks Andy, I'm going to Blackpool next week to have a look, the photos John spoke about never got to me, he sent them to my phone which I cant get pics on, I will post a sneaky pic next week.
