Fair play!!!!

Was going to say i would never rebuild it as the main car would be like a bannana. Thought looks at the pics theres hardly anything left of the orignial car!

Fair play a lot of time and money gone into that

Just looked right through the complete re-build and it's awesome, what a project to undertake!

Nice workshop to do it in too!

959 for me. F40's are nice but a 959 is something else completely. How rare are genuine 959's in comparison to F40's nower days.

Thats very true actually. F40's aren't actually that rare at all for a Ferrari. Loads of em made.

I'm going to check out of interest!
