I have just spent 3 days at work reading through the whole build and am so impressed in the amount of skill and attention to detail that you have put into this car Twins.

The car is amazing and will be setting trends for the next few years to come.

Im normally a Vauxhall bloke but this car has really inspried me to turn to the blue oval badge and im now looking at a white S2 this weekend for a project car.

Keep up the impecable good work mate
