Yep.

I just love how much work they had to do with the body - look at all that filling where the flashlines were.

Also, just check out the perfect symetry of the opening pic (and no, it's not the camera or pic taker):

Ooops, did I forget to mention the front shocks that Tiger are still supplying too short and rest on the bump stops at normal ride height?

Its got wider wishbones but the shocks are half way along the lower bone. Maximum bending. When I extended mine I put in longer shocks that terminated at the hub. I hope those one dont break!!!!

Sorry Northy....

The jig that we made up is now with a builder at "The engine shop" in Torquay. He is going to make some for his car. When he is done with it you could have a lend I dare say.
