Yeah, its my xmas present to myself lol. Cheers Mark, may well give you a shout.

Still a bit of fabrication to do on the engine mount, and there are a few touchups needed. I think he rushed it a bit really for the xmas cash flow, the roof has a cracked blister and there are a few other 'unacceptables'. He's also promised to fix and defects and touch up any assembly dings and do the wheels. The boot and doors are perfect glass though.

I'm happy to have it covered with paint and the colour is cool, but not sure if I should fit the windscreen etc yet.
