Car now getting closer to road legal :-)
I have a 3 week target finish date which could be wrecked if the weather is bad for the next 3 weekends.

Looking really good! Thats the best fitting vanquish style front bumper i\'ve ever seen! Looked like you dropped on with a good mould one, either that or you\'ve put some good hours into it. Either way top job!

Definatly NOT a good fit when it 1st arived. I was seriously considering ditching it and buying something else. Managed to get a plan together after asking round for some sugestions, and cracked on with making it decent. Other good fit is Kruizer\'s rex which is LUSH!

Spent today closeing up the gap between the bonnet and bumper so theres a nice thin gap all the way accross now (picture below doesnt do it justice as the bonnet got a line of missing paint where the join is).

Hoping to be at RS, but depends on weather and if im having to work on the RX. I\'d LOVE to be taking the un painted beast. But REALY cant see the MOT happening on Friday.

One of my mates is looking to buy an FC, so he\'s keen to go to have a look around as well.

Literaly wouldn\'t have got thru if the car was made after April 1992

Gota love that Decat rule

So i\'ll be taxed by the end of the day and will be driving the Ratted Rex around Milton Keynes tonight!

WHOOOOP!
