Hi thanks for the comments, I have driven 300 miles since bought it! Fitted a t28 and it runs nice, if a little rich. Got an innovate wideband on there and I'm getting 11s.

Next job, flocked interior. Front mount in piano black.

did you not get the other front arch I gave you painted? Looks like its got the old one still on?

Don't think I'm picking faults but it would look loads better with the a set of black bumper strips fitted :agree:

I agree with the bumper strips, but don't know where to find any? Left the lads at the body shop to decide what to do...

I like the arches with the cut outs.

Can't decide whether to buy some of those bucket seats that CGB are selling?

Looks really nice mate, how I hope my white one will look after a bit more TLC. Out of interest, how much was the paint job...was it bare metal or a blow over?

Hi, thanks again for the comments.

- damn good painting! Oh yes!

- it was down to bare metal, where it needed it, few little patches on sills then priming, etc. was quite costly, £1200 but by a magazine featured outfit "Elite Bodyworx of Hull"

Looks nice in the flesh, had it on display at my school, had 2 people ask if I wanted to sell it!
