I'll be using some loom tape to tidy it up the cable - a shame because all the cable is the correct colour - ... http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=77 As stated in a previous post - my car was the star of a Badly Drawn Boy video. Today I was furnished with some photos of the car on set. http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=74 Dawson just sent me a photo from our trip around the Nurburgring - I had forgotten all about it. So I thought I should finally upload the rest of the photos he took. http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=56 Well the car is back with me, chassis built up and tub painted.

However whilst browsing the parts catalogue ... http://www.mintylamb.co.uk/wordpress/?p=38 Installation is really straight forward, it's basically a straight swap.
