Thanks, very happy with the finish - under the skin is nothing flash but I hope to add a few personal touches, tidy up the underbody and engine bay paint etc over the next couple of years. The main effort was put into getting it on the road.

Not sure how old the chassis is but the manual was printed in 2001 so it would be about the same. Warwick has added the extra gussets and front cross bar that the latter chassis have but am not sure on any other differences. Rear end is Skyline and front end is Holden HQ (A arm setup) Larger brakes were also fitted.

Paint is also Voodoo Blue which I decided on after seeing your pics Gregg (thought I was far enough away to be safe) and have also had several positive comments on the colour. The picture was taken on an overcast day and looks better in the sun. I think there is some pearl in the paint as well.

Looking forward to taking it on a few first careful test drives next week to see how it handles on the road. We have some nice driving roads from Yeppoon to Byfield or Emu Park to go for a blat (strayan for 'drive'?)
