i might give them a call george, I dropped the car to the painters now getting the whole car fixed up. The engine is being assembled next week hopefully then going straight to the sparkies to fix up some things then to the trimmers it goes. I still haven't decided on the rim colour but just have to choose when i get it together. Finally coming together after a year but the next month will transform it from a **** box to less of a **** box lol….

Car now has the electric power steering finished now. All i can say it painters suck camel **** and take forever and should be starting it on monday, but who knows they could be pulling my leg again. Once done going straight to Maatouks to finish it off. ---------- Post added 13-12-14 at 10:32 ---------- Also looking at selling the GT42r turbo in the pic above, polished housing ball bearing, HPC coated rear housing with 1.05 rear.

Got it back from red star fabrications, the car got new catch cans, power steering bottle, coolant bottle, washer bottle, side intrusion bar, parachute mounted, power steering pump remounted. Car is being wired up at the sparkys and the interior is being trimmed as we speak. Going to push to have it all done for power cruise in 6 weeks.
