Thanks for the kind comments guys! Plenty of room in the boot for some shopping and could probably squeeze a pram in there if needed! lol

Just need a few opinions... Ive got a couple of mint genuine calais badges and bullet style badges that go on the fenders. Do you reckon put them on there to make it have that original look or leave them off?

Took the car out the shed and into the backyard today to finish a few more things off and give it a wash... 95% of the way there now. Also put the factory calais badges back on the guards... pretty happy with them there

Hired a trailer today and took the car down to MV Automatics to get the auto trans looked over and a few bits finished off on that. Also took it down to Norwood Auto Services to get the brakes looked over and all the adjustable suspension gear set up. Just needs a tune now and the bumpers repained from it sitting around for a while and I can take it out!

Car made 251.3 KW at the wheels at 15 PSI on Saturday (37 degrees here in Adelaide) and the big stally was slipping like a b!tch. Car feels very strong on the road and is very responsive so I am happy (for now ) Few odds and ends to tidy up now and I will post some more pics up soon!

This thing is incredible in person. Credit to you and the time/effort you have put into it. The attention to detail is spot on.
