I wonder how many people commenting on this thread realize that you will be running a twin screw supercharger on the V8 in this beast. Albeit from across the pond, I am very jealous of how incredibly cool your car will be.

Paint yours the same colour Mike, I'm half a world away from you lot, it really is a nice colour.

The wheels will have to wait a while, my painter has talked me into doing a flow coat instead of of just rubbing it back and polishing it. For those of you who know paint,[which I have been learning a lot about since this started], the metallic in the paint is something called xirallic, and he said it would finish off the paint job and make it look so much deeper. Just got to wait another week for everything to flash off properly before they start rubbing it back, then spray another coat of clear over it.

Closer to being finished.

All panels off again, rubbed back ready for the last two coats of clear.

Go back in a couple of weeks and get it polished and hopefully will come up as good as I hope.

Unfortunately the body kit wont be ready in time, so it will have to be fitted later
