I will probably be going down to Petes next Friday with my video camera & will arrange then to get it back, think Mark & Deano are champing at the bit whilst an OAP gets his act together, be assured it wont be long now.

Im sure once you have seen the bay and the strut in the flesh , you will be well pleased with it , as the picture's don't do it jutice , its awesome and suits the bay a treat ......

Pete is a guru for sure where engine bay alloy is concerned ....

Im fully aware of the time & effort Pete has put in & its why ive kept out of his way & not pressurised him for an end date. He is renowned for going the extra mile to get things exactly right, produces great looking cars but its not always the best business model .

i dont think you know how much extra effort he has put in on it. he only wants you to be 100% happy with her. you may be true about buisness side of things but fuck me the car will look the bollocks.
