Yeah it's starting to take shape slowly,the motor is a 2.1 stroker with reworked heads by mick at API and I built it myself but it still cost a pretty penny lol
The crinkle red was from my paint supplier the grove group

In a word Micky NO I'm afraid mate,I have another SN members car in for a respray and they want it back for the prodrive meet,and with the amount of other work we have on a constant basis around the resprays it would be impossible to complete it by then!
