plan to run the 998 engine with 60-70 hp for the first two years to keep the insurance down ,gather some no claims and means i should have enough money to do as im on a budget but then im going for a supercarged 998 revving at 7800rpm and producing 100bhp to blow the nuts off of most other road minis unless there 1275 up to 1430 turbo or supercharged but there arnet that many out there, it will also show up many unsuspected drivers on track days. Also ive been reading david visards book and he had 65hp which was faster 0-60 than a turbo metro cant wait to drive it has anyone done a 998 supercharged if so what problems have you had and is it worth it because what i am reading now all seems to make it a good route to go down ? anyy comments more than welcome

That shell is looking awesome! Inspirational!

I'm still on test pieces and burning holes just when I think I've cracked it. So I'll keep practicing and playing with settings.
Have a bulkhead repair and wings, a panels and front to do, will try the a panel guide you gave on the previous pages. :)

Keep up the great work!

Will
