That thread and your RESULT is nothing short of true grit and commitment (and an understanding wife?). Your car is without compromise yet being sensitive to the car ( and looks) as it was built originally, not trying to make it something it is not, improvements made in all the right areas resulting in a magnificent example of a what is today a very collectable classic.
What a credit to you and those involved.

INSPIRATIONAL !!!

Cheers for your positive comments Darrell & everyone else

Been using the coupe over the long weekend, and other than a loose exhaust strap bolt, allowing pipe to knock on the chassis it hasnt missed a beat. Although it is a bit smokey, comes & goes a bit, so whether I have a ring issue, or it is just that it need a more developed tune I am not 100% - not stressed, will do oil & filter, add a catch tank and flush radiator etc in next few weeks then take back to Rapid for a final tune.

Took it out to Geraldine for a drive yesterday for a beer & lunch with the family. getting a lot of looks thats for sure! and enjoyed whipping it off the clock in fourth gear - although wife told me off ...

And whoever said I would never take it to the supermarket - the photo below proves you can if you are selective on where you park
