Beautiful, really beautiful. Shame the top one means the bonnet won't open because the trim panel is bolted to the bonnet and the side panel
It's little details like that can ruin a build day. Still think you could get a few more exhausts on there though How about one for each seat? It would make winter driving much better. Probably.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The picture you see is the picture my dad put on the front of my birthday card. With the following caption 'Mark always wanted a car with twin exhausts, but thinks he might have gone a bit to far at the design stage'

As you can tell he likes taking pictures & photoshopping them!!

Funny you should say that Handy, that is what he wrote inside the card.

Spud, you're right. I have got to adjust the handbrake some more.

To put all your minds at ease, the bottom exhaust is the real one.

Josh, Ill try and find out what the wheels are. I bought them off a bloke at work for £200.00 including the tyres & having them repainted black.

Cheers

Gus

With so many silencers it must be really silent indeed!
