No this is the real fit up it was all trial fitted in the USA prior to shipping, chassis is full stainless steel so will left in raw state |

any idea on what the final weight will be? that stainless chassis looks very solid, wouldnt be worried about driving that in the wet, certainly wont rust that for sure.

Kirkhams reckon around 2000 pounds so just under the 1000 kg mark

This is one car I can't wait to see and hear! roll into the Red Rock parking area for a Cobra Club breakfast early in the new year. 
And Damage, please note, I'm staying away from AP..... 
I'm glad you're happy with the progress the guys are making. They'll be as pleased as you will when this beauty hits the road. Your apparently sorely tested patience will have paid off, and they'll be stoked at putting together such a wonderful piece of automotive art.

Hopefully the progress puts her on the road before Christmas, it's long overdue. This was suppose to be my 40th birthday present but due to all the options I chose and that bloody great lump of aluminium that adorn the engine bay It will now be an early 43rd present or it will just have to be an awesome Christmas present for me instead lol.

Just a quiz question with respect to adr compliance. Is it a requirement to have the horn on the steering wheel or can it be a button on the dash?

I believe it needs to be easily reached by the driver from the normal driving position. Read into that what you will, and ask your engineer.

Mine was passed without any drama....
It's the silver button on the right side of the dash.
( you can sort of see it behind the indicator wand )

Ok cool that's where it was in my Harrison I wasnt sure if it was still the same. I just didn't want to loose the billet Kirkham steering wheel centre.
