    This is by far my favourite car on this forum, love the spec and build quality, I hope we will get to see some videos of it in action.

    That's a really clean machine there. Should be plenty of fun. Went down the big spec crossflow and modded up steering box route with mine but when you see a bay like that, then it looks very period and tidy too. Good work.

    Love this car, it's mint.

    Wiring is always a headache. Takes a long time to look tidy.

    Where did you get the centre switch panel from?

    Beautiful work on this car, you cant beat attention to detail and proper engineering, you see so many cars that are thrown together, this is perfection.
