Well guys its been a good 4 years since ive taken any photos of the car other than her build thread.
We've all had a tough time with the lack of summer this year so with the rarity of the sun shining this morning i took the car out for a drive and got some photos.
Some of you will know the car has been nicknamed "The Bomber" by my close friends, so seemed fitting to take her up my local airfield for some snaps.
Thanks for looking,
Frayz

Today I took the bomber for some new boots.
I always go to Damien at http://www.skidmarquesltd.com/ in Hutton, Brentwood for tyres and alignment. Superb service as always.
Now fitted with 4 new Michelin Pilot Supersport, the drive home was night and day different to the way there. Obscene amounts of grip and feel from a road tyre. You can see why these are OEM on Ferrari, Porsche and BMWs M cars.
Very very pleased.

Fantastic car Frayz, looks perfect. Hold on to it and don't give it away for a fraction of the build cost. It looks much more subtle without the decals.
I'm biased as I've got a bugeye Prodrive, but I've never really been impressed with the looks of any Scoobies since this model. Although the latest 4-door saloon does look good with a spoiler added.

Dropped the front end underpinnings off for a jolly up last night.
Some parts have gone for powdercoat others I've freshened up with paint.
Lower arms off
Lower arms cleaned and rebuilt with new poly bushes.
Crash brace got a coat of satin black before it goes back on.
Also my vent pod I taking shape and more resembles the dash pod so they match

Just read through both of the threads from start to finish... I'm currently unsure what day it is, but who cares, because I have just witnessed one of the most detailed and precise builds I have ever read about... I did read somewhere that you're not interested in a mag shoot because you think most people already know about it... or something like that? well i think you should enquire... It's good for business

Maybe one day I'll get a mag shoot but I'm never happy enough with the car to display it to the world as a feature car. There's always something new to do haha.
Thanks for the kind words though mate. How comes you found the old thread? Chance?

Wow, I think I'm more impressed that you managed to read all that! Probably about 100 pages I guess?
