You should be out in the sun racking up the miles, you could do 500 in a day without thinking about it.
Can't wait to see the finished product and hear it.

Nice to see the car in the flesh today Lee

It sounded great even though you are running in with virtually no boost, I do like black classics (don't tell Calvin) and yours is an amazing example, the reverse bonnet scoop will only make it look even better.

Just spent the last hour updating myself with your project fella, great read and great results. You've certainly come a long way since i was last up the garage Lee. Hope everythings running well with the car. I'm amazed how you find the time to do it with little Seren as well, and i see you've started up your own business too! Are you coming to the october meet? It would be great to have a catch up, i'll see if i can bring the other 2 "Amigos" as well! I can see a turkey curry on the horizon!
