I've finally updated my website and cover the manufacturing process of the original style rims I had made:

I love reading about this build, your attention to detail is mind blowing, wheels look spot on.

Glad you sorted the handling problems - great result.

Thanks for sharing

Any progress on the Indy?

Any progress on the Indy?

It's on hold at the moment.
We're planning on moving to Portugal in the next 18 months or so, so my focus has been to sell off a number of cars and tidy up. They've all needed some form of work to make them more saleable, so that's been keeping me busy. It's wonderfully liberating letting cars go and make them someone else's problem. So far I've sold:
1972 BMW E3 3.0S (That's gone to the UK)
1971 MB 300SEL 6.3
1995 Audi RS2 Avant
1991 MB W124 500E
1996 Volvo 850R Estate
1964 Mini Traveller (Project)
1964 Mini (Racing project)
1964 Mercedes Fintail 300SE (Project)
2013 Mercedes CLS500 Shooting Brake

That’s quite a collection - is the Indy going to Portugal? If not…

I'm planning on taking it with me, along with 5 cars and three race cars. This may change.

Portugal in 18 months you say….

That could tie into a planned forum jaunt!

I took the Rote Sau out on Saturday for the first time since January, participating in the Historic Tour. It was a bit 'Laurel and Hardy', but fun nevertheless:

It looks so big against the MGB and Minis but so cool
