Looks amazing Stephen - shame it won't be on show tomorrow but I can see the amount of effort and attention to detail that's gone into it and agree it shouldn't be rushed.

Nice to meet you on Saturday Nathan. What a great turnout. I had a fantastic time, my only regret was I didn't get to chat with everyone.

The last job that I wasn't looking forward to is now complete. With the amount of repairs to the windscreen aperture I was always a bit worried that the anodised trim wouldn't fit.
It wasn't exactly the easiest job to fit but I'm so pleased it's now done.

Exceptional work. I've not been following your thread for a while, and just caught up. They can't have been built with anywhere near your level of attention to detail when new. If mine ends up 30% as well built as yours is, I'll be very happy.
