Half the spare wheel well is still there as before! It'll just be hidden under the new false floor.

Spot on Chris, very much looking forward to it!

Looking good as always Colin, is the colour scheme still top secret?

Yes.

Well, at least until the weekend when all will (hopefully) be revealed............

Ooh very good :) That clutch looks far too good to hide by the way, as Mark said, you need a clear inspection cover, would be lighter too lol

When I used to scruitaneer with the MSA, we were told bellhousing and clutch cover modifications were a massive no-no.

drag racing seems to be more leniant on it though

Some positive progress today......

11am, and the car has a coat of primer;

11.30am, and the re-machined clutch plate arrives by courier, and actually fits this time;

And throughout the rest of the day several coats of paint and lacquer are applied;

So the painting is finished, and tomorrow the suspension goes back on so I can get it back to my workshop and start on re-assembly.

To say I'm pleased with it is something of an understatement, the finish is better than I could have hoped for, and I can't wait to see it in daylight.

The colour is a Lamborghini one, known as Grigio Estoque, and found on the Aventador model.

Wow that really looks the part colin

looks sweet :thumb:

i bet your getting very excited for re assembly now. looks good.
