New wheels from Image Wheels, it was a long waiting list to get them but I think it was totally worth it!

I love the way you just get started on another kit when you finish. I take it the Formosa is on a Vitesse chassis?

Bit of an update, the Replicar is almost IVA ready and my Formosa arrives home today from HQ where its had significant body mods, its now a one of.

I'll try and get some pics of the 'fleet' today meanwhile though the Replicar build blog is fully up to date....

Sooooo, the project got stalled for a few reasons BUT 1 major one. ANC sold to Quantum and I had/have been talking to them for a long time ref changes and mods to the bodyshell to make it even better looking with better proportions akin to the 50s style.

Also the old name Replicar was a bit naff and I made some suggestions and low and behold I have now named a car! Pretty chuffed about that. The new name is the LMR 141.

LMR= Le Mans Racer
141 = the track of a Mk1-2 MX5 in cm's and 1 donor 4 1 Kit......

My new shell should arrive very soon.

Moving from Surrey to Margate as well so I guess the build is still going to drag even though the car is so close to IVA ready! Also been busy driving my Elise S220 .......

I know 1st world problems right!.......

Updates soon to follow .....
