I like this a lot, looks spot on! :(

Got it in the garage 5:30 am Saturday morning, got it stripped, prepped and finished painting it at 12 midnight!

Came in 7:00 am Sunday, got it polished and built up by 9:00 pm! For two days I lived on bourbon biscuits, water and paint fumes.. :)

Must have been a busy couple of days. :P

Hey Jonny, cheers for the kind words! :( Nah it's 2K so will still be unavailable sooner or later. No-one exactly knows when that will be! It's a bit of a minefield subject!

Austin - Yeah I was knackered! I think I'll do alot of sleeping next weekend! :P

There was a company selling replicas of the P700s at castle combe, £45 a pair, but worth every penny.

Looks mint pete. Love the wellers, just needs lowering a little and a nice backbox now.
10s would finish it off but it does look (enter jamie oliver) "Pukka"

Looks great, love it, Retro seems to be the way to go nowadays (which i'm glad of).. and you've managed to do it without making it look like everyother 'retro treatment ' car out there.

This car stands out from the crowd for it's Unique styling touches and it's professional finish.
