this is a great looking project, i can see already a lot of thought has gone into this build.....

thats meant to be green with envy...as close as i could get!

Stunning. Bit of a random question, but, seeing as your using what looks like all new/re'cond components and all new nuts and bolts - does everything go together nicely? and i bet ur hands arn't black after a days work either

wish i could afford to build one like this

So far its all gone together suprisingly well, like you say it helps with everything being clean and using new nuts and bolts

Just a quick question. How are you registering this? Only it seems like you are using all brand new or re con bits so should it not be a brand new car????

As long as original part are being used recon or not from the mk1 car like the engine, subframes and maybe the brakes the the car can keeps its historic status or you can apply for a new identity making it a kit car with a Q plate (I think)lol
