Looking really good Mark, silencer doesn't look out of proportion too - looks just right.

Bet you've been out for a sneaky drive around the estate, if not then bet you can't wait to. I did tried it at your stage and came across a cop car passing at the end of the street, soon got back into the garage. You can get it booked into a local friendly garage for a pre-mot check which you're allowed to drive it to. As long as you don't book it into an actual mot you can get away with it..

Looks great. They sure are rolling in thick and fast now. I feel bad my car seems so far away from getting on the road. Not even fired my engine yet!

I started last january, but i had about a 2 month rest from it as i got married last august and couldnt spend any money on it for a while

If i hadnt been so busy with work and saving to get married i think a year is easily achievable
