I do like the touches with the Carbon Fiber. Always hard to find some of those things around. Is really going to make a unique car.

I think it's a subtle touch - I like it.
let's face it from 20 feet you'll probably not notice the carbon fibre detail and they'll look black anyhow - when you get up close you see the effect - NICE!

I have to admit,i ummm'd & ahhh'd about what color to go with on the centre of the wheels. Ended up going with the gold & i think it looks good against the body color.

Nice thread Chris.
Thanks Geetee. I hope to get a fair bit more done over the next few weekends so hopefully i will have some more pics to put up soon. Maybe a certain Mk1 owner should start a thread about his rebuild??

Just had a look through the full thread chris, it looks fantastic, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a car you build, it is a credit to you. Please keep the pics coming

Headlights now fitted.The bases have been repaired & painted,new angel eye lights fitted(for now) and lined up to fit the nosecone correctly.    Car is coming long a bit slower than i hoped for  Its all the little things that take time to do. I do have 3 weeks of over Christmas so i will continue working on it up until then and do a final big push over the hols to get it finished. If all goes well,it will be at SFS 2010
