Well its been a long time coming, but eventually starting to be worth the wait!
Our shell of our Intermeccanica Convertible D just out of paint this morning, and i'm really please with how it looks.
Can't wait to see it start to come together over the coming weeks.
Will post more pics as we progress.
Cheers

Right hand drive too! Cool.
Puuuurdy!
Very Cool, Nick! Best of luck with your project. I'm sure a lot of the SOCers on here would like to see pics as you progress with your build! 
@Nick Jones
Love the color...
Hey Nick, love that colour if I say so myself 
Looks good! Keep us posted.
You know where the inspiration came from Ray
Nice one nick looks great be sure to keep the updates going. I am on the hunt for a right hook myself too
Beehives will be a nice addition.
Looking forward to seeing how your car will turn out.
Nick - is that a new build at IM in BC? Or is it one you are restoring? If restoring - wonder how many right hand drive ones were produced. What's build plans for the rest of it - Air cooled or other?
Hi Wolfgang,
It has been in production at IM for some time and has basically been constructed as a build kit, then sipped to the UK for Intermeccanica's UK partners to complete the build.
It's been quite a trip really over two years to get to where we are now, so hopefully not too long to wait now.
Forgot to say the car has a 2.5 Litre normally aspirated boxer motor mated to a Subaru Gears 5 speed transaxle. Porsche 911 SC front suspension, steering & brakes, with semi trailing IRS with vented discs.
Should be a nice thing once completed.
More shots of Nick's RHD IM D. Unlike some builders, Henry really keeps his customers informed re: progress on their car. I think Henry enjoys each build as much as the customer does.

Wow that is going to be awesome once completed
2.5 Subie, a five speed and 911 suspension? Niiiiice.
Nice color and love the RHD
Evening gents,
Finally starting to get somewhere with my build. The car is now on its wheels and Moros and gearbox to go in over the next weeks or so.
Cant Wait to get it running
Looking good. That is a very unique rear seat setup for the convertible top. Is it your own design or did you borrow it from someone else?
Nice Nick, good to see the progress on your build. Robert that is IM's design on the back seat. I believe you can see the IVR I believe it's called requirements for shoulder belt attachment. Nice work on IM's part for sure and the carrera vents are awesome looking.

Thank you Ray. Hadn't noticed that before on the IM.
Nick, the wheels awe awesome! Are they from Coddington?
Thanks for the comments gents.
Marty, the wheels are from Coddington’s and I’m really happy with how they look.
The car should sit really well on them once the motor and transmission go in.
ill post more as I get them
cheers
Henry does build a great car. Good for you to keep the quality going.
Nick: What diameter are the wheels? 15"?
Hi Bob they are 16’s
Bob those would be nice on your car
Nick: I assume Henry sourced the wheels for you?
Hi Bob,
Henry did source them for us. I know he had to commit to a number of sets of wheels to get the prices at a reasonable level.
it might be worth a call to see whether he sold them all or not.
Regards
Nick
Doesn't Marty have those same wheels on his beautiful machine?
Marty has a 944 spare tire metal wheel and he had it cloned, and I think made by the same company as those. @Bob: IM S6 Bob, you can get whatever wheel you want made up in whatever size you want from that company. All you need is real money, I mean compared to ours. Not sure what final look that is desired but here you have them in 18inch and wide sporting a C series hub cap.
I think you can get them chromed, or aluminum polished the list goes on really.
Here is the wheel again
Nick, while you still are not finished with all the bright work on the car are you thinking of having an Xpel film done on your car? I think you might like to protect that beauty.
Motor in last week and wiring coming together. I’ll get some decent shots up when I get them
Brilliant !
The bottom of the back seat can be made to hold a subwoofer of the right size @Nick Jones if so desired. I did it after the fact it would be much easier on the build. Looking very good.
Thanks for the advice Ray. 👍
NIck, your free to do as you will of course, but if I can help you in any way by sharing with you parts of my build process, I would be glad to help you in any way I can. Ray
Well progress has been slow, but we are now starting to get somewhere.
Here's a few pics of where we re up to.
A few more
