Really nice finish Geoff the car sits really nicely!

Simply spectacular. Would you like to trade for my 911?

My only suggestion is to match the chrome surrounds on the doors with ones on the windshield and rear screen

Jeff – Belated congratulations, your car looks stunning.

Well I am certainly not surprised as it really stands out and I am sure the reaction will be even better when you tell people you built & painted it yourself.

Well if you can’t achieve perfection with your skills, I have no hope working outside with a brush!

Thankfully, I’ve already experienced the reaction my car gets on the road, so I can live with slightly bigger blemishes.

Enjoy, Paul.

PS
I hope you carry a spare battery cut off key as the Londoner in me expects someone to steal anything that is in easy reach.

Love this car, full of details, really like the steering wheel! and the cut off (E) sticker and pull through front side vent, i looked for something small to fit there and could'nt find anything that would easily fit, it would be great to get a close up of what you have done here? I have been trying to find out if the Bruce Meyer car is on dispaly in the states somewhere as would love to see it first hand, specifically for that part...!

Also love the mudflaps, again any photo of rear ones please, would like to see how you secured them. Oh, and really really like the detail on the rear screen, shame I have a convertible

Only small point is that your exhausts seem to be too short and don't poke out enough to trip passers by up!

Cheers!

Jeff, How do you find the seats? Are they the BB2's? I did search but couldnt find a mention.

I like the look of them but just wonder how the lack of adjustability affects you on long journeys?

[swifty]

Very nice, like the look you have achieved. The finish is one of the best so far, well done with this build.
