FYI the police just caught the tint on my wife's E90, now had to remove it, so reconsider if you are planning on getting your windows tinted darker than the law allows.

ha ha, i saw build a car on discovery and it takes ages and is fun in the end, but not during the process!!
better buy one already built, or you will be sweating in the heat, unless you only work on it in a HK winter.

i didn't know you were an engineer, those kits look tricky!!!
i had friends who made a replica black Dino, cobra, Westfield 7 with cortina engine,
Marcos Mantula rover v8, but they had the help of a "mechanic" dad and bro, pretty hard to get free help here!!!!
i remember there was a replica Countach, my old dream car!
Lets wait to see Capt Evil's Super 7!!
