I love the chrome rings on the instrument cluster. How was that done?

This is a great example of Series 1 styling. No engine bay pics?

I had the pleasure of seeing Albie's car in person at the 2021 Vintage. All I can say is "wow". It exceeded my already-high expectations. He really knocked this one out of the park. Truly an incredible job.

This car is phenomenal. I am so envious of the complete large tool kit and trunk lining.

Incredible attention to detail in this car. Really amazing work; I can't imagine how much time and love you've put into this car. That interior - now that is how you do a tan interior!

Jordan it absolutely does, shameless plug and all . Glad you approve of the build!

For those interested:

Old vs. New:



Installed:



With the air box and everything else in the engine bay installed, was tough to get a good enough pic to do it justice. It makes the engine bay sparkle and gives me waaayyy more confidence in my braking than I had previously

Fantastic car, I really want to build a MT1 car someday. I just love how they look. The rebuilt ABS pump (not pictured) really ties this build together lol

Car looks amazing, I feel silly how much a drooled over just the toolkit lol

[Ian McClure]

Beautiful! Love euro bumpers!

[Albie325]

Thanks all! It's been a lot of fun to finally be driving the car around town these last few days, with a big smile on my face
