So, Andrew has been working very hard with metal over the last few weeks and my friend Ally has been painting.
As of today....
I am very pleased with the skilled work that has gone into this, very clever craftsmen.
Pictures of the work carried out to follow, plus a film of a test drive...

Splendid! And how nice that you have painted the bonnet, it looks much better than the usual bare alloy.

The boonet is not quite right just yet - some issues with the paint. It will be a little duller and spot-on very soon however.

Hi Ruairidh and Andrew,
Looks and sounds great and looks really steady on the road.
A terrific result!
Things not so good here with my Cup .... more news later next week.
Regards

Hi R,
I've been keeping up with the build.
And the car is looking stunning.
And the work second to non throughout.
Just as well that's a quiet road in front of Andrews. he would have been run over anywere else.
Tony.

You need to change the filter on your glasses Jon!
