Thanks to everyone above for all the positive comments!!! Like it or not, it's certainly different.
Just to answer a few questions above, kit is all steel, no fibreglass anywhere (although the new bumper will be). I don't have the original bumper, no one seems to know where it went...Tony had sourced a copy so I bought that as well, and it will need to be modified again to fit the car.
The car was originally crystal blue, below is a pic of the first feature I have on it.




Chassis legs have been sorted, they weren't bad at all. The sills arches and front wing are pretty messy though! Not sure if i will track it or what to do, toying with the idea of a cage but main priority is to get it solid first and not get carried away. I have a couple of engine choices for it just now but to start off with will just be a mild 2WD 380 hp and go from there, realistically the bodywork its going to sap up in the region of 5-7k, then if I bung another 3k at it you're into 10k territory straight away, so no point getting all misty eyed about hundreds of horsepower just yet....

John, it's off to Impact autobody, their only instructions at the moment are to fix the body and will decide on the rest once that's done. For now I'll just be getting bits powder coated and electroplated to give me something to do.
