Don't take the grammar critique personally. These guys are the sort that literally take the shirts off their backs to help fellow enthusiasts out, and are genuinely interested in seeing the details of your build.
The root of the problem is getting into the habit of texting on the go which often means no punctuation, liberal use of slangs and abbreviations, and a heavy reliance on automatic spell checkers. Works great for short text messages, but can be a real headache for readers when trying to decipher longer, more detailed forum posts.
Keep the pics and details coming - everyone wants to see the intriguing new Pace cars come together, so every build will pull a lot of interest.
You'll probably get a few jabs from purists for the unconventional details, but most will find them interesting as hell. Share your thoughts on the hood vent. They work well on some designs to increase flow through the radiator and to evacuate hot air and pressure from under the bonnet. I used smaller twin vents on my car and they do make a big difference in keeping the engine compartment cooler.
Can't wait to see the pics. Keep the updates coming.

Well said. Exactly my thoughts Buzz.
Hail, I wasn't trying to be a "...funeee gi" or whatever way you want to trivialize things.
I was deadly serious and I still stand by my original comment. I am a busy person with a busy life. I don't have time to decipher the content of your posts and to TRY to work out what you are saying.
I'm a fellow Pace owner like you, who is interested in your build as I'm sure you'll be interested in mine. We're here to help each other, and that was purely the motivation for my original post.
If you are seeking answers to your questions and our help, I don't think it's too much to ask that you make sure something is readable (to a High School English standard at the very least) before you post it.

Just a tad condescending mate? If your so bloody busy don't read his posts.
It's like reading Tolstoy compared to Sideshow.
Cheers

Hi Paintwerks, thank you for your honest opinion, sorry but English isn't my first language but you at least stopped and smelled the roses, 99% of the world didn't and yes we both have Pace cars so if I can ask you for your thoughts and help I do appreciated it. It wasn't my intention to start my post like I did but it was late at night, I haven't been sleeping well I am recovering from a staph infection in my leg and being late my head wasn't thinking in English it wasn't really thinking, so I am sorry to the Australians I offended I will try to use the Australian spell checker, time permitting, and again thank you for your honesty.

Hail, thanks for your most thoughtful reply. It all makes sense now with English not being your first language. For what it's worth, I didn't intend on coming across as condescending or elitist - and I apologise if that is how it was interpreted (by you or others here).
We're all part of a very small, yet exclusive family. As I mentioned, we're here to help and encourage each other, and that's what I plan to do.
Out of interest, do you have a projected completion date for your Pace?

Paintwerks no worries m8 I'm old and ugly enough to take a joke as I hope you can with me, I honestly didn't know how to start the post and thought to share my thoughts and build was what I wanted and as you said exclusive family we can all enjoy the pace Craig has developed and I thought I was doing him and you guys an injustice by my first remarks, as it was later felt by me that it is just excitement,So no harm no foul and thank's for sharing and caring.
I have changed my thoughts on Craig and the build so many times I didn't want to ask for a date I know and realize he has a business to run, but I am going to the factory tomorrow and we will catch up, the only good thing my leg has given me is time off so I have some time planed there, I haven't told Craig that yet it's a surprise.
