Can't wait to see the finished product of this, amazing attention to detail mate! Gotta respect the effort that goes into a build like this :happy2:

Appreciate the comment, it's certainly no easy task but then I guess that's why not everyone's doing it

Your attention to detail fella is bordering on the insane, absolutely amazing. Every so often someone/something comes along and blows everything else out the water.

Honestly didn't think this car/ build would cause so much commotion. I'm just building a car for myself to go places in at weekends visiting friends, a fair few track days and some shows and meets but not show & shine etc just for mingling and meeting like minded peeps. Europe is a place I'd like to take it often too.
I've put the extra effort in as the engine builders spec and promises blew my mind and I felt I'd better give them a car worthy of it. I'm hoping they deliver but of course I'm full of concerns as the car means more now as the time has gone by and it's taken longer due to  life's complications.
I have another issue at the moment with wheel fitment but still waiting for the rear brakes and to find out what issues these bring before I can rectify it as will need to change the wheels   :surprised:
I'm a builder by trade and have very little previous experience with stuff like this.
Majority of the build has been highly enjoyable and I've taken on as much as I can. The most disappointing / frustrating part is handing over large amounts of money to the so called experts and not receiving a very good service or the help needed to speed things along and finish this project. That said on the upside I'm learning more and more by way of having too and learning who and what to use on my next projects.
Really appreciate all the interest and kind words and it keeps me determined to finish this car for sure
