Yeah I'm quite happy with how it's looking.... but it does have its share of rust - some rear arch work and a front wing, and it'd be near perfect though...

Can't believe how high it is compared to the 360... needs dropping a couple of inches really!

It's interesting to say the least putting the last 110 miles on the thing having been unused really since 2002!
