Phwoar look at that arch! Looking forward to seeing the completed car.

Well the back is finally finished, it strange how it takes twice as long to put back together than talking apart, but it looks pretty beefy.

Looking gorgeous fella .
You paint it yourself ?

Tssk.........you and big battys........

Cushion for the pushin fam

Yep a long afternoon, sprayed the roof black first last week and then when I sprayed the lacquer on can you believe one fly got on it and it was cold out side but luckily it had just about set.
Two of us last Friday whacked the heat up the night before so the car was warm came out better than I expected no flys. Will drive it for 2/3 months before cutting back and polish, have ordered my set of Yokohama’s AD08Rs and can’t wait to drive it again and hopefully it should stick to the road like

It needs a plate to disguise its age to those that dont appreciate "yet".

Looks great, well done.
Love the colour too.

Thanks mate it is now back on the road the car had not been started since July put the battery back on and went straight away, looks a bit funny with the old wheels on but the new ones don’t come until 2 week of jan.

That looks weird on the standard rims, but could be ok if they were bigger/correct offset...

It will look great I'm sure with the Le Mans copies on there. Well done Stu!

I have some three part Fleischmann wheels, that would look a hell of allot better on that...

Shame there 5 stud... Got them for my A610, but then decided to keep the original turbines on it..

Looks great, like the colour. What did you decide to go with engine wise in the end?

Well the Atmo engine pushes it along at a fair lick with the old Holly on, but I have a 3lt even fire which I have been prepping finished the heads ported etc, got to get it balanced and then I have not made my mind up on the induction side yet several options, but will wait until I finish building it all up to that point.

Fantastic well done! I am very jealous

Which fog lights are you using? I have something that may be of interest to you.
