Lovely mate! Bet you can't wait to drive it!
Hi Guys,
Onto an update then.............
All the smaller jobs were finished up earlier on last week so they could set the car up using the wideband and test drive to check all was well. Once they were happy I collected the car friday afternoon and brought it home. On saturday I took it out and got a few miles in which was awesome. Obviously I cant drive it too hard at the moment but I have been told I must work the engine to run it in properly etc. It runs/boosts very well so I am uber happy with it! Their is a little bit of lifter noise which Im hoping will settle down but If it doesnt then I'll order a set of genuine jobbies from autovaux. Also Ive been advised to get the front suspension all set up and aligned properly as my builders have said it will get the power down and handle much better than it currently does. Another good thing to note though is the equal length setup as the car doesnt want to pull you into the nearest field under boost like it used to! Ive got to get approx a hundred miles in then take the car back so it can be checked over to make sure all is well. Hopefully I'll manage that on a few trips out this coming week. Then its also got to go for an mot so we'll see how things progress. If all goes well and I get everything finished then I will use it for billing but If I have order more parts and things dont go to plan then I may have to leave billing until next year. Anyhow some pics are below.........

Great news Nick! Hope you can make Billing with it!

Car looks happy to be home. Get some miles on it, if the weathers good and get it to billing:thumb:
Looks great Nick :)
Not sure on the panel youve made for the gauges mind, a lad with your skills could mock up a nice custom steering wheel shroud to house them.
That would look much better imo
It's looking stunning buddy its a credit to all your hard work and skill
