Hi Justin and welcome to the club. That's a tidy looking car. You are right though, it needs miles on as it's way too clean :D

A number of members over that way and will be along at some point.

Once again welcome

Welcome, lovely looking car. I'm in stoke poges (slough junction of M4) so probably one of the closer members, would be nice to get the westerners reformed as most seem to have disappeared :D

Nice quick build, obviously a man on a mission.
Welcome to the club, hope you get a chance to get it dirty soon.

Welcome, nice to see another member out west :D I'm in Yateley near Camberley so not far away. We'll have to put a westerly run together once it warms up a bit. I'm banned from driving the Marlin until March after a bout a pneumonia last spring :roll:

Cheers guys, thanks for the welcome. S2000 is the way to go, when you have recovered from paying for the engine. Had a crossflow and a zetec car before, but this was my first car build. Plan was to start the build in June and engine run by December. IVA and registered for March 1st. All I can say is I got stuck in and done. Wife said to Westfield that is would be done by September. Oh how they laughed........ Really happy with it so far. Just contemplating on a TTS supercharger at some point.......... just dont say anything to the wife.......... :shock:

Welcome, m8, and as said, what a cracking build time, that should would put many many builders to shame, as I have known, and lost contact of guys who have kit cars for nearly 20 years, and still got box's of bits,
