                        Hey Darren.
                        Seems others now know what we already knew on the forum - you have a very nice bit of kit there
                        Would be nice to see it in the flesh one day, but in the meantime, any chance of getting some video clips of her in action?
                        Keep up the good work.
                        Cheers
                        Chris

                        PS. WHat else you got planned for the beast?

                          Thanks Chris.

                          Not sure how to add video!!

                          Its currently in bits.. now that i have got the engine exactly as i want it i am doing all the suspension, Powerflex's, Bilis and a rear anti roll bar etc..

                          I will then respray it, the pictures make it look a lot better than it does in the flesh.. i have got new Ronal wheels to fit and RS2 front seats to fit to. Will be getting the rears reapulstered to match the RS2 fronts.

                          That's pretty much it...... but who knows.....
