Hi both. They certainly are from CBS

After loads of faffing about with badges ive decided to go with the contraversial ferrari badge. Oh well [IMG][/IMG]

You built it, you can finish it how you like. Looks good to me.

Very true. And it is a ferrari tribute after all.

Latest pictures. [IMG][/IMG]

Looks flippin cool !

All that polishing was wortwhile - looks really clean and simple.

To be honest the paint looks loads better in the pictures. I need to colour sand it still but i figured that i would never have it ready if i kept doing that, so ive got it to a roughly acceptable standard and will then work on it over the winter. Just the loose ends to tie up now but they seem to be the bits that take ages.

looks nice i am happy to see al the cars next week

My car is finally road legal. Thanks to DVLA and VOSA for taking my money. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Yoooo Hoooooo!!!! Looks really great, you've done a fine job. Love the stripes, and the Roundels too. Don't fancy finishing mine off do you?

Good job Dave.

Very nice!

Thanks all. I'm done building cars now. Going to enjoy driving this one for a bit

Magnifique!

Thanks Patrice.

That looks fantastic Dave, great job. Hope mine looks half as good.

Some of the things ive been doing over the last few weeks include covering the dash in cream leather and fitting a very loud straight through exhaust. Ive really been enjoying driving it. It attracts a lot of attention. Cant wait for the next meet which hopefully i will be able to make this time[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

How difficult was the interior? Did you just stretch the leather over what was already there or did you add a foam layer? What did you use to fix the leather? Any tips on avoiding wrinkles in the corner?

Yes, I will be retrimming my BMW/Maserati when I get the body finished

To be honest its been a nightmare. I stretched the material over the existing dash and glued it in place with contact adhesive. Its been a bit of a job. On the edges ive warmed the material with a hair dryer to make it more pliable. Im sure it will be worth it in the end

One very load exhaust[IMG][/IMG]

Hello everyone. Seems like ages since I've been on here. I've been enjoying driving the car for the latter part of the summer. Hoping to drive it to the NEC next month for the classic car show. I've been busy repairing what the knucklehead in my garage did. When I took the car for mot he managed to squeeze the front end over the sliding jack on the ramp. Hence reversing off led to a horrendous cracking and ripping noise, my two headlight covers snapping and flying off and a lovely crack right down the front end along the bottom of the bonnet. Be warned at mot time, these cars are quite low to the ground. (Especially when you've lowered it

How is yours in the rain, I can't seem to cure water dripping in the top ofthe door windows, tried extra rubber sealing strip.

It seems ok. I used the stick on D seal from CBS. I will try and take some pictures for you.
