I like your turbo bulge! Reminds me of the eighties band 'Cameo' and the video for the song 'Word Up!'
great work! Really interesting project! Keep them

don't worry the similarity has already been noted as it was made, the cod piece!. Oh well think it will look okay once there is a bumper in front of it. So close yet so far       still!

fontana grey L595 the original colour, painter seems happy and has given me a good quote. Will be with him on wednesday for the next month or so. Give me a chance to sort out all the other bits and bobs, finish detailing the wheels etc. Then the interior will be done and the deadline in the end of july, fingers crossed. Cheers, Alex

Interior has already been made, narrowed original front seats (to fit round cage), rear seat sectioned and rear seat base made into two. got a few small creases to get out but it is already to go. Belive it or not, despite the pictures none of the seats touch the cage.

the hammer is a worry I know! All I can do is trust the painter. My mate Pete has fabricated my new breather tower, not finished but getting there. Can make some more for people if they are interested?

hi, Pete is based in Bexley, Kent (UK) and I asked him about price. Each one is individual, but a basic one without the breather cap using conventional filters would start at about £140 up to a more complicated one with the cap and take offs as required costing about £270. He is on the forum under hotrodder if you want to contact him. Mine is well under way now
