Thanks to everyone thats helped me with the car, CP, Mark Curtis, Cambridge, Dan, Chris_T, Breeny (for the countless lifts to the bodyshop) and everyone else.

Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy before my girlfriend forces me to sell it, lol.

Cheers

Looking nice m8 - for a split second looking at that first pic I thought you'd wangled the head on the 'wrong' way so the induction was at the front - then I realised it was just the rocker cover!! :lol:

Yeh Jim we all know 16v are better than 8v because of the go faster badge you can put on the back lol

Looks awesome Jim looking forward to seing it at some shows. I want mine back from the bodyshop now so i can start building it :D

Cheers for the comments guys :)

Karl, I'll be keeping my eye on you...those harnesses cost me enough so dont want them to go walk about :P

Broody, didnt fancy the 16v. Besides I had a strong 8v engine already, so wanted to see how much more we could get out of it.

Aamir, I'm really pleased with the boot floor, the bodyshop did a good job on it.

Camb, you'll no doubt get a ride in it, or possibly get to take it for a spin yourself :)

Cheers guys

Just one thing,am i seing things or dose your passenger seat look a bit out of upright mate? :? not sure if its my eyes(got a nasty cold) lol :lol:

Good luck for tomorrow mate.

LOL, cheers Scott. It could well be a little too upright, but i dont know, i dont tend to sit in the passenger seat ;)

I'll ask CP tomorrow, he's coming with me to the RR, so i'll soon find out how uncomfortable it is, lol.

I do like it, it does look very shiny, plenty of coats of lauquer i take it.

Is it going to be a garaged Show car or a everyday use car?

As far as I know it's just a deep gloss black (I assume 2-pack) finish.

I'm not sure how much I'll use it, but obviously I dont want it getting fcuked before the shows.
