Damn I was hoping for your sake that it would be sooner. Youre going to be hurting man. I went nuts when I wasn't able to drive mine for 3 weeks.

Re: My Speedster ~ The Black Sheila
With a new production line being installed here in Angola, any time off is out of the question. The good part of it all come Jan/ Feb 2015 I should have at least six weeks of leave.
Since starting the build of the Black Sheila which is now in its fourteenth month and counting, I have not actually driven the girl.

Re: My Speedster ~ The Black Sheila
A update August 2014'

Re: My Speedster ~ The Black Sheila
awesssssum.
Not just lower on the nose, but the headlights are closer to one another as well.
I need to tie up my loose ends so that I can strip mine down and get it to garth for the nose graft.

Re: My Speedster ~ The Black Sheila
I am glad you finally changed your mind to do the nose job, well done
Are you going to respray the same colour or a different colour?

Re: My Speedster ~ The Black Sheila
I wish that I could do it now, but I just don't have the time.
Respray a diff colour..........aquamarine non-metallic.
I hate the current colour, that's why I'm not phased when I bump it, scratch it or mess paint on it..........yeah i've messed a lot on it.
