Yeah it's nice to see at it this point , but still a very long way to go. I'm hoping the build will be complete by early spring.
I'm getting the shell rolling and complete apart from engine and then it's going off to mark at MAD for the build.

 

[B6lee]

you getting him to put the engine back in then are you ?

 

[Mikeyc]

Yes mate from start to finish, at that sort of power I want everything to be spot on

 

[Mikeyc]

The shell is now back from the Bodyshop.
After painting the underside white I didn't think it looked right so asked the Bodyshop to underseal it and I think it looks much better black.
Very pleased with the new white as well

 

[martinthegooner]

mate,your bloody mad but i agree the underside looks cool black,cant wait to see this finished

 

[Mikeyc]

It just didn't look right, well I didn't like it lol
I prefer it now it's black
It's going to be a while before it's done
Next thing is to have nuts and bolts refurbed

 

[supamario666]

[Mikeyc]

Cheers James
