Dave,

I never thought the headrests could be extended that high.

Are there plans to do the GT's bodywork or has that been done?

Cheers Billy, I was surprised by that myself.
No bodywork done yet, but will keep you posted

Had the GT out of the garage yesterday for the first time this year. I gave it a wash to take away the dust. Looks OK from a distance

I was chatting to Beadles about the GT earlier.
No progress to report though unfortunately - serious lack of time and cash holding things up
