Progress is good, chassis jig now completed, final assembly of prototype commenced. Gaz shocks specifically developed for the car are now fitted. GRP moulds complete and tested, production begins. To start the ball rolling here is a clip of how we stripped the MK5 (NC) donor body off. Not long until Autosport launch! Gaz did a brill job on custom shocks, just need to get it all together, GRP completion due Monday! Brave colour scheme, pictures on Monday, I hope!   |

Brave new colour scheme, the "colour wheel" shows burnt orange opposite to turquoise so we now offer these in our colour range, very striking, modern and moving away from standard colours, we mixed red pigment in with the orange to compliament the hint of green in the blue powder coat. Bonnet and rear cover pictures next week.  |

Looking forward to seeing this, and how different the build is from the original...
You're going to have to get the Gulf logos on that colour scheme for the full race car look!

I get the Gulf suggestion but I don't want to use my new car to promote oil. The colours are not shown correctly in the image, it's actually a dark burnt orange on a turquoise chassis. The front and rear panels are now finished, just playing with stickers at the mo, Craft Signs in Mansfield are great lads, they have the matching blue/green colour in vinyl. I have left it with Pete to come up with a graphic scheme, sounds brave when I didn't give them a brief but they always get it right and are generally quite creative, I am slightly anxious though or maybe it's excitement I am feeling. Sorry but I cannot show any more images prior to launch at Autosport in just 35 days time as Complete Kit Car magazine are doing a photo shoot for their mag that comes out at the show.  |

Nice!! I see you've reverted to flat top rear cover mate but with a GType twist..... Will it fit my GType??? Guessing not as it looks longer but could just be the photo. Liking the dash by the way.. :-)
