Building lambo countach rep

Thanks but I cannot take credit unfortunately, the body shop did a great job.

The colour is so much better in the flesh as well.

Hi Dave,

I'm in sunny Rome this week and hoping I will have the car finished ready for pick up when I get back

Watch this space :)

Haha Dave. You are so funny :)

I hope I have done the right thing with sticking to my guns with the colour. Time will tell.

Looking forward to seeing yours in the flesh. Will you make any of the remaining shows - donny or total kit car live?

IVA forth coming eeecccckkk

:) Just kidding matey, i think your paint job is superb!

You'll be fine for the IVA! you've done a superb job and I've no doubt it'll sail through!

My aim is to try and get to Exeter at the end of the year in mine, fingers crossed, as i promised Gaz (who i bought if off) a drive!

When is Exeter?

I was hoping for donnington for me but I doubt I can squeeze IVA and dvla sorting the car out by then so maybe total kit live.

Deff Stoneleigh next year though :)

Looking excellent, reminds me of a Stormtrooper...

Exeter this year is: Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th October

I know it's a trek for some, but it's my local show as it's only an hr down the M5 for me!

If we are both on the road and you do come down, stop off on the way and we'll go in convoy :)

Failing that, I'm definitely up for Stoneleigh next year!
6 Aug 2013, 7:39pm
I'm hoping its road worthy by then and there are two more local to me that I could convince to pop in to yours and the convoy down :)

Pretty much, diff switches in the centre console and I've added a 2 din ice

That is looking really nice! That interior is superb, it would take a complete Countach annorack <hello> to pick up on the very minor differences to a real one.

I do like the extended instrument binacle with the double din head unit! Are you going to wire that in to a reversing camera?

Hi Dave,

Already wired in to a cam. I purchased a number plate holder that has it built it. Think they are used for caravans but looks good. Sorry didn't get a pic

10 Aug 2013, 11:35am
That's a murcie kit, plus a 355, another countach around the corner with another murcie kit :)

Well Steve, I'm waiting, how's the car ?
23 Aug 2013, 10:23pm
It's home :)

Need to get a new alternator as this one is knackered! Temp sensor isn't working so need to get a new one, kenlowe with adjuster maybe?

Will post pics of it over the weekend, sorry haven't done so so far. Can't stop smiling :)
