So jealous
Not to sure tbh, I assumed the arches were s6 just because of the bumpers. I am running increased caster tho.

Hey iirc you bought my 22b clutch and flywheel
Is that badge molded or bolt on? I have a s9 one I think but it's a bit big for the grill.

That's right, the badge mount is just bolted on.... a freind of mine has one (ex Prodrive) in his souvenir cabinet but doesn't want to sell i'm afraid
The S9 one is a lot bigger, so may not look right as you say.
I'll look out for an S7 one, if i find it i'll let you know

IMO Never give up what you do.
that is a remarkable piece of work you have done there,
cars like this make me want to go back to a classic, i'd give up my blob for a car like this.
Absolutley stunning,
i rest my case.
Thank you. it is a passion, although it does get very stressful at times and also staying in most weekends just so i can save money quicker is difficult but its the choice i make.
i started the scoob build when i was 18 and finished around my 20th birthday.
i also built this when i was 15-16

Looks lovely, although think it would look better with a grille.
Edit, just read you're after the badge mount.
Love it

Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments, just wish we had better weather to enjoy ours cars. I had thought of a big bhp engine build but decided its not worth it as i only done 500 miles this year.
i hate our weather lol
