did you get your chute mount sorted? I was at Wayne's when you rang him the other week- welding my steering column for a quick-release boss....

sounds like you have beaten me to paint... mine should be in the 'shop on Saturday but I am not sure i'll make it for then....

can't wait to see you car close up- it looks so impressive from the pictures.

cheers,

J.

Pretty much done making my chute mount Wink

Nah, it's Diamond Green - the car's OG colour Cool. Diamond Green never seems to photo easily. One minute it looks gold, the next it looks green Shocked
