It has been a long time in the making but looking at the photos and video it was well worth the wait 
A great end result to your project top work the cars looking great 
I should say, it is now road legal so I drove 250ish miles to get the new hood fitted....ran beautifully, the car never missed a beat, still starts first time every time and runs sweet as a nut. A good donor car is essential, I think....imagine the horror of getting to this stage only to find it needs a new clutch or something....not the end of the world I know, but what a PITA it would be 
I know the hood does not look much different from the back, it was only narrowed by 75mm, but here are before and after shots from
the back, that show why its needed;
To say "I like it" would be greatly understating how I feel about this project! Well done, JIM
Really enjoyed this build. Here's hoping summer is a good one to get it out there.
I really hope I get to see this beauty up close, stunning doesn't do it justice to be honest. It looks very TVResque if there's such a thing and the rear window is nothing short of brilliant. I love it!

Right, fitted an operational internal electric boot release, also with extra wires stowed under the car in case of battery failure. Fitted the rear boot handle (it is just a dummy, but looks good and works for helping lift the boot lid)
Fitted the rear reflectors, and the black/silver number plates. I was going to fit the Nardi steering wheel, but the adapter I bought, to join the wheel to the OMP boss, is drilled incorrectly, so I will have to fettle it first.

Just read through this build start to finish , hats of to you sir looks fantastic.
Bonnet grill fitted and original trim re-fitted at the back of the boot. Out for a spin tomorrow if weather is OK.
Wish I was riding shotgun on your drive so I could see all the admiring looks as people saw you drive by!! JIM
No spin, too wet. Anyway new gas struts for the boot have arrived, play with them tomorrow.
I think it's time to change the title of this thread to 'build up pictures'.
And we need more pictures!
Can't wait to see it, can't believe it's nearly a year since I loaded bits of it in a van back to Kent!

Yep, that exhaust set-up must sound great, I was quite surprised at the difference having dual exits makes to a straight six...another thing to add to to the list...
