Strictly speaking (UK>USA):-

Bonnet=hood
Boot=trunk

Phoenix, great looking car!

roadsleeper had a great orange car too. Not sure if he's sold it though.



His build thread is here:

Another car that was nicknamed Sunkist. Been sold and re-sprayed to its original red though:

Nice work Nigel. Looking forward to seeing at the speed championship this year.

Re the poor bonnet fit - have you kept the normal bonnet lifters? If so I would expect them to be too strong for such a lightweight bonnet and could cause the bonnet to be pushed upwards when closed.

p.s. another vote for keeping it carbon black.

Yeah, roadsleeper told me that a 997 GT3 could not pull away from him on the long straights at the Malaysian Sepang F1 track.

But then again, his NA 3.8L engine is not, how do I say it, stock!
