Haha, im trying to do this years build as best as I possibly can this time around  Once I got the carbon roof I always wanted a carbon boot + bonnet to have carbon all the way down the middle of the car  lol.
The car should be down to around 800kgs this summer with any luck

Once the underside of the chassis and engine bay / wheel arches have been done it has basically been a bare shell rebuild over this year and last year, including a brand new engine/cage & carbon bonnet/roof/boot.
Quite an overhaul tbh Chris lol
