I finsihed the car late 2007, so far the tally is 19 trophies from 7 shows! I am proud as punch as I have done 90% of the work myself and absolutely
love how it's turned out. I realize it is not to everyones liking and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I do hope these pics and stats
help out anyone looking for ideas or inspiration. Thanks.

Mate you should be very proud of your efforts, an exceptional job.
It is great to see people still going in their own direction and not dioing a run of the mill strip and paint.
Some great ideas and the front bumper looks like it was meant to be there.
Hope to see it in the flesh some day

Thank you so much everyone!!! And thank you Jess for the photos from Jambo 2007. Yes it was finished off only the week before, gotta love late
nights. LOL. Took out "Top Body Kit" that day so very pleased. Photos you mentioned by the beach were part of a "Hot 4's and performance cars"
magazine shoot. It featured in issue 168.
Hoping to meet you all at Dubs by the Pub.
