Cheers Huw, I'm over the moon with the colour , it really has turned out exactly how I wanted it.
I'm looking forward to Castle Comb although I don't think i'm going to be on the stand :-( think I missed the boat on that one ..... perhaps I can sneak on ?
 
changed a bit

Here are some of the photos I took when I was over in California, certainly has changed a bit
still like the green though

I did indeed , there were two types and these were double the price so I'm hoping that means double the chrome plating, time will tell I suppose :-/
 
Spring blast

Bumped into to adz 2k today whilst I was giving the Car a blast . Definitely going to change the springs this coming week , got 220lb and 240lb springs ready to go. It felt too stiff today through town and a bit unsettled but great out on the duals.
Here are some photos Adam took

Sunny days

Weather was fantastic in South wales yesterday, awesome day for a blast. We got a few photos but my father wasn't happy with the lighting, need an overcast but bright day.

Really happy I stuck with the L26 and didn't swap out as I had my heart set on an RB25DET at the start, this thing sounds amazing ! I was worried it sounded too loud but it just ticks all the boxes.
I did around 90 miles last night and it behaved great , Cardiff roads are still **** though.

Does anyone know how to put videos up ? or shall i just link them to youtube ?
 
You have done a wonderful job of this car. I liked the old 'gunship' look and spook spoiler and was sorry to see it go but your vision and execution of the 'resto' has been superb.

You just need a new front bumper now ;)

Congrats.

ps so your Dad is a perfectionist too ? That windmill shot is fantastic.

Cheers mate, it certainly has been turning heads on the commute to work, had guys asking "what is it " in traffic . Going to do some Go-pro stuff soon...... Bute Town tunnels will be on the route that's for sure.

Thanks for the kind words Rob, It is has turned out just as I wanted it.

I agree on the bumper mate, no hiding from professional photography :) I'm going to put the rubber bits on the bumper (when I find some) and some bolts in the over rider holes and see how that looks.


You're right Rob my dad is a flat out perfectionist, he isn't happy with most of the shots he took :eek:

We are going to do some light painting this weekend down in Cardiff Bay as long as the weather behaves. Then do some of the close up feature photos like , Triple webers , Nardi wheel etc etc

How about welding them up for a cleaner look? Being painted makes finishing off easier than chrome.
