Don't know if anyone is reading this part of the forum but I have another update!
Car is rebuilt and mobile again, panel repairs being done tomorrow and then it's off to paint the next day.
Starting to get excited now!

We'll definitely be at Gaydon with it, hopefully the cream tea run depending on the previous night's event!
Probably bring the boys out to the New Forest BBQ too.

Re: Paul's wife tries launch control for the first time?
The car is now painted and being re-assembled today. Testing tomorrow and then it's machine polishing to the rest of the car that's not been painted. Still on track for the end of the week to have it back.
