Holy Crap Pat!
To quote Barry the Garage Mechanic....
"She sucks nitro... with Phase 4 heads! 600 horsepower through the wheels! She's meanness set to music and the bitch is born to run!"
Max would be proud, and the 'toecutter' would be scared...

Thanks Fredrik. Looking forward to seeing similar results from your great build. 
Haha, that's great Steve. Paul, who put much of the car together was quoting similar themes today when I first saw it in this finished (one colour) state. Might just have to name the car Max...either that or Darth.

Patrick, this makes me so happy! Haha. Like seriously, it couldn't happen to a better guy and I'm very glad she's ready to rock.
Love all the aero bits. If you need any advice or need someone to look at your data, drop me an email. Looks like you're doing great though.
I'll recommend to you what I recommended to TonyG but for you I think it would be more beneficial: have you considered renting a wind tunnel? Renting for just half a day is cheap speed as far as I'm concerned. Time will be tight but as long as you have a solid test plan you should be able to accomplish a lot.
Cheers mate!

OMG Pat, I can't believe it's ready to roll!
Looks insane and I bet it will blow your mind when you first drive it.
Please go very, very gently until you shake the rust out of your helmet - it's been a while mate

Looks great.
Better get some stainless steel wire mesh in front of the intercooler/radiator opening. It's gonna get damaged real easily without it.
