The light at the end of the tunnel, finally the finished A610. This has been one of the hardest projects I have ever taken on. Fiberglass, parts all mixed up in boxes and no Haynes manual….. did not help my sanity.

Thanks to Mrs Dini for giving me the freedom and time to finish this project. Also thanks for not kicking me out after she found out about Project2; T2

Also thanks to Mr. Pimp Dell for locating A LOT OF PARTS and let me look at his A610 occasionally.

Mr. Folly thanks for the prompt email response for parts allocation…………..

T2 HERE I COME!!!!!!

It looks absolutely bloody stunning. You've done a great job. Hope you get to enjoy driving it as much as I enjoy driving mine right now.

Actually, the more I drive other cars, the more I see how stupidly under-rated the 610 is.

BA DA BING.... IT'S FINALLY OUT!! and looking worst than I thought...

Also I will be getting the clutch refurbed rather than buying a new one, any thoughts on that one guys, never done it before but I thought it's worth a try as a new one is close to £500!!!
