Tell me about it
Back panel and new passenger side wing should hopefully be on next week.
Then the cage is going in, as soon as it gets delivered.
Then all the suspension is being done, let alone the engine

Should have some more Saturday as we are a bit behind waiting for parts, only done the back panelat the minute.

built for speed or track or show ?
Going to be a bit of an all-rounder as its my everyday car (well not at the minute obviously) but i normally take it to santa pod but i want to get into track days etc.
HTH

Will post picks as soon as i go and see the car.

Its really wierd, i think it is something to do with the lighting as a mate had his cossie down there aswell and that looked yellow, but as soon as it went outside it looked spot on

Went down today aswell doors and bonnet are painted and on, will be delivered back on saturday
