I love the attention to detail, Neil. Gotta be the coolest blue badge car ever!

You want to see the looks I get when I pull up in a Disabled Bay  :signLOL:

I would have loved to see their faces when you did that  :congrats:

Great looking car Neil, really love the all or nothing approach as well as the clear goal set for your rebuild, one of the finest build here IMO  :notworthy:

Neil, I want this more than my Mrs at the minute...  :drool: Absolute master class  :notworthy:  Hat's off mate and it's been well worth the wait..  :happy2:

My favourite bit by far...  :happy2:




Suprised she's only 1329kgs though, thought it would be less than that?  :confused: Is that with you in the car, or is it the cage etc that's soaked up most of the weight saving?

you gonna paint (or wrap as its CF) bits of the wheelchair to match the roll cage now then ? :signLOL:

Its funny you should say that, my chair is Titanium/Carbon construction but I had some old carbon wheels and thought, powder coat Candy White, but bottled it and went for Black Chrome to match my BM's Brakes.  :happy2:
