Paul, the guy doing my work is amazing. He is one of the few people I trust to work on my car. He understands my requirement for "attention to detail". He equals or exceeds my requirements in this area and feel lucky to have him on the build team. Bloody nice chap, too.
Hope to have more pics shortly.

Look forward to them. What you getting done on the RSR? That is one hell of a special car. My car is going there next week for some tidy up work around the windscreen.

I have a RUF aux. oil cooler on the Turbo, so i'm going to transfer the fan from that onto the cooler on the RSR. The Turbo will be fine with just 1 fan and the RSR can get hot in stop start traffic, especially getting out of C. London.

OK, bit of an update. Still having issues with uploading which I have not fixed yet.
But, front of the car is now basically ready for paint. That's full integration of the lights, loom, and wings. Lead filled and stuff moved around to accommodate the light mechanism. The std oilcoolers are being replaced with new custom ones as my engine needs a lot of cooling and there just isn't the space for the normal upgrade coolers.
New lightweight roof is on, with rain gutters removed. Headlining is ready to go in after paint.
Rear scoops have been reshaped to offer better air flow to the engine whilst still keeping the original look.
There is some more lead filling to go, then off to paint.

I'll mention it to him. TBH, i'm going a bit OTT, the cheapest way would be to take moulds from an original and form in fibre glass. Or if you wanted my guy, who is very good, drive over, have a weeks holiday and drive back

Come on James, give us a flash of the fuller pic. I cant wait to see it finished. You, RC and Paul are a deadly combination!
Is that white RS still at Pauls? Glad RC managed to squeeze mine in for a fleeting visit.
