Wow Clint, your father John is very clever and a keen eye for detail. Beautiful work!Hi all, the R8 is getting close now! Dad's been doing interior with all the best bits from a few old interiors and doing a great job!
Last few bits are on the exterior, rechromed door handles etc. Doing carpet now, then front seats, wheel alignment, new tyres..View attachment 226116View attachment 226121View attachment 226122View attachment 226123View attachment 226124View attachment 226125.
He's always been very good!Wow Clint, your father John is very clever and a keen eye for detail. Beautiful work!
Yes, I did understate it...He certainly is! Many years of experience and a true car and motorcycle enthusiast!
Our pleasure I'd say!Thanks everyone!
New tyres on rims look excellent size, should handle very nice. Mine work very nice on the long trips, NICE !!!Well...getting close to 5 years of having the R8 we had our first test drive!!! As expected there are a few teething issues though on a whole very happy! When it was my turn Dad kept telling me to go harder...never say that to me! It revved freely to 6500rpm and the gearing of the big four speed makes first and second very punchy. Still a bit to do but the end is in sight.View attachment 227758View attachment 227759View attachment 227760View attachment 227764View attachment 227765View attachment 227766
The usual outstanding work quality!! Shouldn't take it for granted though. Wow.Down in Bridgetown again for Christmas. Just resting, so no real work.
But wanted some pictures of the R8. The car is very nice indeed (in the flesh).
What Clint asks for is what John then does. Things like hidden wiring in the engine compartment. A plain, original looking dash. Wheel arch flares that look normal to cope with wheels and tyres combination.
Just so nicely done ......
