Alright Kenny,
Need to get the finger out and get mine on the road. Handy to know someone else who knows abit about building these. Might need a few parts if you have some! I heard you got Ewan's rear beam with the discs?
Haven't seen Gary blacks.
Cheers
Robert
pretty sure ive passed you in it before robert? Maybe not. It only ventures out in the summer.

hmm, isnt working, heres the link http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...a%208th%20may%
yeah i have a few spare bits and i do have that beam too. only came with one caliper tho so i still need to source another. what parts are you needing as i plan on having a wee clearout in the garage soon.
you may even have bits im after. cant think off the top of my head but spare panels are always handy!
Finally got some work done on the car over the weekend with a break in the weather so I thought I would pop up some photo's of current progress. These photo's were taken over the weekend and show how the car is looking after it came out of the paintshop.

Thats about it for now.....getting there slowly but surely. I will keep this thread updated once I get further on with the build!
Any comments welcome.

Look's really nice mate, well done.
Thought you might have sprayed all the inside, though guess it dont matter if it's running full interiour.

Very nice i do like black novas alot. Good luck mate looks like a good build so far.
Paint work looks excellent
paint looks lovely! i'll be in touch in the next few weeks after i clearout my garage, will let you know what ive got and see if any of it is of use to you.
im in 2 minds about selling the disc rear beam aswell...
Paint work looks awsome on this man
