Looks superb mate, i need to get my arse into gear and get the rest of mine built up.

I'm lagging behind, something always seems to crop up and put me a week behind or silly little jobs that should take 10 minutes yet take an hour.
Spent an hour and half the other night just trying to get the fuel pump bracket of the RS, took an angle grinder to it in the end
