Love it

Colour looks great. Hard as fook

Really good pics and good read

If anyone wants a pedal box then these are the ones me and Martin run. Call him if you want one.














Obviously looks far better when its powder coated.

Thanks for the comments Alan..The car was going to be just a track car but now have decided it would be a waste just to leave it sitting in the garage 364 days of the year..so we made up a new loom to incorporate a few legal requirements for Road use ..
