Man alive... It's gonna be gorgious.
Have to say, I do like the colour of the original car. Only ever seen one other that colour, and it had seen better days sadly.

Sometimes, I wonder why I bother, and then for one fleeting moment things will go right for a change.

Avo Adjustables arrived yesterday, look like they will be an excellent fit after a slight modification to the front beam.
Had to do a little guess work with the 'spring rate' taking in account for the weight of the engine that is to be fitted, this issue can only be overcome once the car is complete and can be weighed correctly.
Colour, I'm really not a fan of the original colour, the gold colour is my favourite of the standard Viva colours, but I think I'm looking for something new that will really show off the shape of the car. Suggestions please as 3 and a half years has past and I still cant find 'that special colour'.

Heres what came up on google images when I seached for "leMans Blue", must say thats a pretty cool colour.
Some time ago I made a computer image to try out some colour options, these were the outcome...
Think I would rather have one complete colour than a two tone job.
