Time for another update. Steve at SPM in Byfleet has continued to work minor miracles while we chase parcels from Oz with hard to source bits...

Still waiting for the front screen after a disaster with the first two - when we opened the box that had been sitting in my shed for 18 months, both were cracked! Drive train now pretty much sorted - should be firing up soon. After much deliberation, went with the Torq Thrust wheels for starters. Interior is getting there, so should be out and about running it in and dealing with inevitable snags come Spring and sunshine.

Don't forget the matt black behind the grille sir, it will make all the difference! Absolutely superb job by the way, that is already one superb Charger...

You know you might actually get a windscreen from Autoglass! You'd be surprised what they keep in stock.

The car looks fantastic, well done.

Thanks for the encouragement - it took a while to see progress but feels like the home straight now!

Should hopefully be ready for a Nats visit, although I know that falls in rather peak hols time...

Ivor - thanks for the tip about the grille/painting, makes sense.

Cheers
David
