That is truly awesome! :notworthy: When are you putting the turbo in? I wish there was a cheaper way to strap one to mine.

We decided it had to stay blue as so much has been done to the car and as you can see its just a shade lighter. Looks even better in the sun, just hope we have some this year!

Thankyou......... The car will be painted and will take 1 month ??? Then back home for a month to let paint cure/ harden fully and put it back together and they will have the engine ready to lift in......... I'm sure car will be with them for a month - wiring, plumbing in and final tuning etc :laugh:

Not been on for a while so were a bit behind again so I'll try my best.
Stripping the car was completed.....
Arches cleaned and sealed
Top mounts altered for adjustable top mounts
Front strut brace fitted
Car reassembled and delivered to painters
A few pics of the prep on the car
Front grills are finished apart from final prep
calipers are finished
Engine is as far as we can go now without car. Internals are complete inc rods, pistons, head etc. turbo is is all mocked up inc oil lines, pipe work and electrics
Short runner and engine cover need prepping and painting
Still a way to go but its moving. Still aiming at having car painted by beginning of April but we'll see. Car has a stand at Festival of Speed which would be nice but I've given up making plans....... Matt
