Bloody hell that car looks fine!! I've just gone green with envy
Keep up the good work, and well done so far
Always keep a big hammer and a condom in your toolbox, if you can't fix it with the hammer

That looks excellent!
1 thing: its a small fibreglass car with a whacking great V8 under the bonnet, and you want as much ventilation as you can possibly get, as GRP does
not vent engine bay heat nearly as well as steel/aluminium!!
You might fare better than I (TVR 390SE wedge), cos your exhaust headers go straight out of the car: mine dont!
Also, be careful of siting the air filter above the near side header: it'll inhale hot air, and the engines VE will go down markedly. You might
want an aluminium heatshield/airbox type arrangement.
Good luck: it looks superb.

Nokia N95 Wap phone & wireless internet enabled. Cracking Phone, but it's going to take about *years to learn how to work everything on it.
Its even got a BAR CODE reader.!
Oh I am at home now Richard, great to see you there. I will be starting another thread as soon as I've got my photos loaded of the phone &
trimmed to upload (5 megapixel photos too big to upload).

Very nice. Is that a standard luego screen and supports? If it is, do they offer a black finish or did you paint them yourself?
