Are your getting you body painted while the car is off the road?
Any news back from Marlin on the wishbone front?

I saw some e-type replicas with M20's at Stoneleigh. Not sure what those were as I've never seen e-types before in kit form.
I think there is a BMW based cobra (which didn't get a glowing review in BMW car mag) and I'm sure I've see at least one other chassis with an M50 or M52 pictured in total kit car at some point.
On the non-kit side of things Wiesmann use the 6 cylinder M power unit one of their cars as well as the M62 8 cylinder in another.
Not getting it painted yet, I want more on road shake down time before everything gets coated.
I've boxed up the parts to go back to Marlin, didn't bother sending over xmas. Now I'm having trouble finding a courier company that will send the box. One half won't send to PO box address and the other half say their postcode doesn't exist!
A reminder of the bits going in the engine:
