A huge amount of work has gone into that, surprised they've gone for carbs instead of injection but I guess it's built for one purpose and one purpose only 👍

If it were mine I know I'd have to ask for some more bodywork to be made so I could give them the original back as I couldn't paint over something that took 10 months to paint but made me feel sick.

I don't normally suggest this but I think I'd prefer it in matt black.
Oh and lose the open bellmouths.

Looks great apart from the pain - it's got a bit of a fairground ride look about it.
