Nice work,
I've a 998 A+ with flat top pistons and Swiftune cam in my Clubman and it makes for some nice nippy performance

Cherrs Lads, ya billy i did the panel replacment(welding) myself i learned to weld when i was doing my trade but still take a long time to do this car
as u know you cut one panel out and then you find rust on another panel
Tony i hope the sw5 cam is good, as i hear the metro cam is best for 998
