Ah well - not as famous as I thought then! LOL Can't be that many Cheetahs about now i guess.... hopefully in the summer I'll sort the front moulding and get the kit on. I am thinking of using wing tape like vintage cars used to have, between the bolt on wings and body, thought it might make the join look neater.....

Welcome aboard! As mentioned some photos would be a good addition here. Are they both super charged models or is the green one just the body kit?

Can I ask how the charge is cooled on these, I've looked around t'internet a bit before and couldn't find much info or photos of the actual mechanics of the modifications.

Ah THAT green one! I was thinking of this one that was apparently doing the rounds on stands (maybe someone misinformed me though?):



My body kit is silver from a BRG/Silver Cheetah.

Tazman you have to of the best F's I have seen, you lucky sod! Not wanting to take the piss but do you have any photos of the engine bay; im interested in how the conversion was done back in the day; where the charger was mounted, charge cooler etc blah blah.

If I am every up that way I'll be sure to come knocking with a box of Krispy Kremes or something!
