Got this through the other day for zee ring in a few weeks...
Shabby old plate...
Didnt want to ruin the plate with screws so i went for the stick on approach and knocked up a few mounts using industial double-sided velcro.
Much better 
Meshed the foggies last night so some before and afters....
Roughly measured up some left-over mesh and cut it out using metal pliers.
Afters....
After everything i've stripped the car floats sometimes 
Wasn't sure about the mesh but it looks a lot better tbh now and keeps some of the wiring you could see from up-close hidden.
Whole underside finished tommorow then the engine bay and car needs some proper TLC and a detail.
I'll get a full-spec up before Sat when i get a chance.

Thanks Scott, i'll come and have a chat when we arrive tomo 
Been a manic last couple of days but the car is finished apart from a proper detail tonight and tommorooo!
Im cream-crackered but the whole underside has been cleaned, painted and sealed and the engine bay has seen some TLC in a few places. New track pads have been worn in and are ready for some abuse @ Rockingham
Really want a new set of Toyo's but there's no time before setting off for FCS tommorow so i'll have to use shitty street tryes for the track sesh on sunday and then swap them over for either TR's or 888's before the Ring.
Pics up of the car tonight/tomo before we set off for the hotel to show the underside and rest of the car.
Safe trip everyone.

Even better mate. Check the pics above for an idea of what it looks like.
More pics up tonight and tommorow 
The manifold has been semi-sorted and doesnt blow as much now.
Suspension has been double-checked and after a test-run the car feels great and sounds mint with the system now.
Uber-happy with everything and she will be clean as fook tommorow.
Bring on FCS...just hope it doesn't pour down like last year!

Great weekend and Rockingham was awesome.
Show was pretty crap to be fair but some mint cars there on display.
Car was great on track and did pretty well after a couple of teeny issues the day before.
Wish list for the Ring with a few new additions...
Mocal/E-tech catch tank
Mocal oil cooler
New steering wheel so this one will be open to offers soon
Fresh rubber as the front took some abuse yesterday Toyo's on the cards...
Apart from that maybe a new co-pilot lol?
More progress to come this week and the car has been booked in for some attention to the bodywork before Trax. Hoping i can make it up there to get out on the GP circuit again this year!
Cheers for the hand yesterday Craig and everyone else for the comments this weekend
Loads to get stuck in with in the next couple of weeks so i'll keep it posted.
