Dr H Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Oh, and here's a car that just got through IVA. Chap in Manchester built it. Stradale with an Alfa v6. Took him about 15 months and 330 odd hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I was in the Manchester area a few days ago and saw a green Stratos...so possibly the one mentioned above :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Yep, chances are that's the one. There anren't many around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Quick update. Starting the paint got delayed but should be in primer on Tues next week when I go over and take the recently collected windows and screen over to check the fit before painting. Current timeline is: End May collect from paint First week of June - engine mapping End of June go to trimmers for carpets, dash, door cards etc. With a lot of luck I reckon it might be ready for IVA end of July. But now I've said that there is no way it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr H Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Well the primer is on and it will be in full colour by the end of next week. The front lamp pod has been painted in the colour I chose just to make sure it's what I want. So I took a pic........... It looks nothing like this in the 'flesh'!!! It's actually like this: So looks like my car will look crap in photographs when it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil S1 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Leigh, there's no such thing as a crap looking Stratos...even stealth black looks pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 I must admit, it does look quite good in matt back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 It's getting greener...... This pic is a better take on the actually colour but probably shows it a tiny bit greener than it actually is. It's very bright in the flesh (or plastic/FG) Will be ready to collect on Friday 31st May (2019) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
