seeing the size of your garage I can understand why you want doors that go up rather than out, you probably also have to fold your mirrors in, lol! :P

seriously though, car looks FANTASTIC! 8O

Thanks for the comments folks and hope one or two of you guys get it sorted soon--it really stands out amongst other cars now...

Ran her on a rolling road on Sat and it was running greatly.Very nice high figures because its nice and cold here in Scotland.Tried another run with my 100 jets of NOS and had a problem.The air filter blew into bits, the air intake pipe blew off and i blew the metal baffles clean out of the air flow meter.Not to expensive to fix and it should be back on the road in about a week or two... :oops: These things happen though....very strange seeing bits of engine flying around the workshop.. :oops:

would have been worse if it happened on the open road about 100 mph with the bonnet down... 8O

I hate to rain on your parade Markyboy, but how the heck do u get into the car? After looking at those pics, it looks like it might be a bit difficult to slide into your seat unless you're 5 foot tall. Don't get me wrong, I love the way it looks, but I wouldn't do this conversion if I have to become a ninja to get into the car.

I will do a video clip and measure the height of the door when fully opened but i need to get an air flow meter etc to get her running again.Should have a video clip in the next week or two.Its actually very easy to get in and out and im 6 ft tall--but then again im a ninja :wink: :lol: well Muay Thai boxing instructor really. :lol:
