Blimey  Looks like a proper job you're doing there Tom. Fair play to ya for ripping the guts out of probably the cleanest, lowest mileage GTE in existence. It's gonna be a real beast by the looks of it

I noticed rear turrets and you've removed the spring cups. Something special going in its place? |

Trev is the all seeing MK1 eye, nothing evades him! lol
Trev did she pass ?
Gents thank you one and all, there's alot more to do to this project in only 5 months before i start banging her round a track in Pre Ring shakedown testing.
Were heading down to Castle Combe track tomorrow after my birthday celebrations tonight to check out the track, as i suspect thats where im gonna break her in along side Matts. They also have Merlin motorsport down there in teh paddock and i still need a load more parts! |
