Cheers for all the comments folks. :thumbright:

The car is now home and awaiting its custom wiring loom to be fitted.
Then its back to work to fit the exhaust, brake and fuel lines, get the coolant hoses and breather system plumbed in.
Then its interior back in and get the old girl fired up.

Im not rushing it (as you can probably tell) :sulkoff:
So all being well it will be on the road early next year :D
