Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing future progress.  |
Thanks mate, it's all starting to come together now, the carbon bonnet, chassis repairs and new engine will really finish the car off nicely..... For now

Such a whore with carbon bonnet, boot n roof although it'll look epic.
The finished spec is going to be second to none!

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

Yeah it's just alot easier doing it this way, saves potentially damaging the bearing

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
