That looks really pretty! I'd say you're off to a good start!

I didn't realise this was Chris Meek's old race car from Denmark. I saw it advertised about 2 years ago, but couldn't work out how I could get over to see it, or to collect it without major expense/drama.

My plan is to get in on the road for next summer. That should give me enough to time. the bodywork is ready for paint, but I am going fit up everything first.
Yes it was Chris Meeks 2nd car. Been apart for about 30years! But got some good pictures of it being stripped down. Original chassis with the original numbers, which is good and it had the original paint but the body work was shocking!
I'll post some more pics when I can (have the faf of resizing them). 
The big challenges are the little bits and pieces which you dont find are missing until you try and fit stuff. But have been bit collecting over the last couple of years.
I went over to Denmark looked at it and bought it. Transport was challenging because it was in bits.
Engine is together now and building up the chassis. The roll cage is my next major challenge. Probably going to get the SD cage and get it added to to make it a full cage.
