    After 9 months of many hours of hard work thought you might be interested to see how its turned out. I am very pleased with the end result and whilst there are details still to sort out it is on the road and running !!! I have included a couple of the original pictures as reference.

    Here is a link to the original thread and old pictures

    Looks fantastic James. You must be well chuffed. I understand I missed seeing it a few weeks ago when you had it at Talacrest, and I just sailed passed without stopping...

    Look forward to seeing it in the flesh soon.

    What motor have you put in it?

    Ric.

    Hi Steve , thanks. Did all the work in my garage at home. Found a local place to do the suspension powdercoating and had a pro do the interior re-trim.

    The original picture can be found on this thread

    Many thanks for all your positive feedback.

    I would probably never do this again as the amount of effort involved in stripping down , cleaning and re-building is significantly more than building it new first time round. Contemplating a new build , need to get some points back with the wife first !!!

    Wow , very impressed James. If I decide to start a kit car project (on hold at mo) , Ill definately need to pick your brains.

    Will you bring it to next meet?
