Its the first time I have been able to see the overall colour scheme and the wheels combined, and I am very happy with the result. One thing I will probably change as time goes by is that as the guards get stone chipped I will carbon wrap them......and maybe the nose cone!
My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Faking it......
The car needs to head off to a custom exhaust shop this week to get its cat and mufflers fitted for rego. Before it leaves the house I need to sort out insurance. The chosen insurer needs to see a photo biography and description for the car. So I have fitted the nose cone, scuttle, bonnet, boot, roll bar and mudguards in order to show the finished product. They will all come off tomorrow to allow me to finish under the bonnet, but I did sit in it for about 30 minutes today and on the floor next to it just looking at it;)
