Steve - its road registered , however because it was covid and we were in isolation we sort of went a little overboard.
Vaughan - color is lime gold metallic - green comes forward depending on light - at some point in time ill document it but top line - started with a large crate from TTR containing light weight body with carbon kevlar floor option , foam under wings option . TTR frame , most of corners stuff and we then proceeded to throw everything including the kitchen sink at it. Too much time on our hands locked up - " hey , lets use Macassar Ebony fretboad material for the dash .. ya , sounds good lets do that.."

That's what I did, too! Also covid project. Currently I'm stuck on how to install a hollow crash pad and refit the heated screen without stress. John

Hi George,
Remarkably, your S2 looks like benymazz's but his number plate is DGY 187C (as opposed to your DGY 182C)!

That garage looks familiar...I do believe that parts of my car have been worked-on in there.

Got the S4's shell back from the paint shop at last. Ignore the dust...
As you can see, I opted to retain the LRG. It's a back to gelcoat respray in 2 pack.

Ah, the P1800. That's another car I wish I hadn't passed up when I had a chance years ago. I've always admired those. Nice!
