Well judging by the comments left so far, your incredible technical work and design flair has left a huge smile on member faces. An absolute high to leave 2015 on. Roll on 2016 and hope it will be on the road soon. Stunning. Well done Sir!

That's a major commitment of time to the project.

For those members interested in having one built - if a 2nd build took just as long and you only paid the OP £4ph that'd set you back £10k in labour alone.

....Still want one though hehe.

Any custom build work there as well? Nice bumper mounted mirrors? Or Coupe doors as entry to the shower cubicle?

Definitely got the mini Bentley look going there. The wheels as well (which I love).

What a stunning car Gerry. I've had to look at the photos half a dozen times now to see all of the little features you've added that others spotted and I missed!

Interested to hear on the fitmet challenges for the BMW seats and door cards.

I love the colour choice too, although i'm biased as it looks like my Garnet red.

Regards,
Rich.

Absolutely brilliant the amount of thanks says it all.
Hats off to you a cracking job a man after my own heart.
I'm a coachbuilder to trade and always wanted to mod & custom cars just never had a garage to do it in hopefully next year I can finally get one as I'm getting to old to be rolling around outside fixing them.

Really looking forward to seeing to be build pics.

I think the word priceless comes to mind, 2,500 hours at a reasonable £30 per hour = £75,000 labour plus donor car & parts!
