Stunning mate and the parts your putting on are in my eyes the best out there and MT is a man of his word if he says one week it's one week . And I'm loving the wheels i would hate to think of the price of them

Beautiful build, all really nice but I can't help but comment about the cheap dampers. Why not put proper damper on it to suit a proper build?
Something like this should be on Proflex or Reiger not road stuff like 'Gaz'.
