We have had on Facebook running over the last few months pictures of a build undertaken by Bill Richards racing, that has now been completed. Pictures start from the shell being collected, prepped, through to paint, engine build, and finally collection of the car. I'll add the link, good inspiration for all those undertaking rebuilds currently

It is a bit gordy! :) I think thats the second day in a row I have used the term gordy on tmf! >_<
I like it, but it wouldnt be my choice of colour. Thats the great thing about minis though, the customisation!
