Did i miss the bit about how you've sorted the screen? Is it the original one laid back or have you found a rare laminated one to cut down?

And yes, it looks A-Mazing.

really making some progress on the car now. engine back from machine shop and is now painted and ready to go back together, pedal box is now all bolted in and the brakes just need fluid, all the wiring is done with just the engine harness to do. even had chance to have a mess with the airbrush on the intake tube.
