Here are some photos of my Radford hatchback, almost completed! Just waiting on some final trimming bits to be done. Will be at Beaulieu on Sunday
Had a few small issues, broken wheel by fitter, has anyone got one of these wheels for sale?
New heated rear screen installed and the fitter smashed it
And paint on rear tailgate reacted, even with all these issues I have managed to keep going and will still be there on Sunday.

Such a beautiful car.
Despite the "setbacks" by other clumsy oafs It's good to know you haven't lost heart with the project.

That is SOME transformation, since the article in the MCR mag, a few years ago.
Will be nice to see it "in the flesh"
congratulations to a job well done.

Very nice car!
I think Nick Roger will have one of these Cosmic. You will see him in Bulee anyway. Hope you can get one.
