Mudguard Stay
New bits of steel for mud guard holders Spacing for the carbon wings - ended up using 1/4 of one of these as space. Steel bent and fitted to the...
Bracket + Nose Cone
Finally bit of construction. The original bracket that held the header tank was a bit floppy so Richard welded up a new one - nice and solid now! Plan A...
Windscreen part 1
To fit the windscreen you'll need some masking tape a pencil, rule and maybe a tape measure! Put some tape down and mark a centre line on the scuttle -...
Carbon Wings
Carbon wings next to original Carbon weave! Pretty! The new wing is not quite a wide as the original and follows a slightly tigher curve. You can hardly see any...
Number plate and SVA proofing
A set of brackets to attached the number plate to. These are held on with body sealer. Will do these again when the cone is off for painting with fibreglass....
Nose job
The front of the car is now completely together: Max checks out the car: And although it's not really complete and the weathers not great today, couldn't resist taking some...
Let there be light!
After creating a template for bracket for holding the rear lights 4 more were made as the final products: Each pod needed to be individually tuned to fit the shape...

A little bit more progress!
The bonnet now has all 40 bolts, cup washers, washers and nyloc's in place. Some need to come out again as they need a bit more work with the sinker...
Lots of little things
Filler cap attached Fog and reverse lights attached - these are just for SVA, the round ones will go on afterwards! Bonnet clearance - just fits! Under bonnet scuttle panels...
Bonnet 2
Step 1: Mark a line with the bonnet off using the rubber as your guide, then place the bonnet on and use tape to run a parallel line to the...
Bonnet
If ever there was a job for two people its putting the bonnet on! Took a lot time of measuring, eyeing up and fiddling. This is not 100% final yet....

Bonnet Side Panels

Body adjustments and wiring
The striker pin plate re-enforcement is complete on both sides. Each has a rivnut in place to help secure the front of the tub in place. It helps pull the...
Wings
Driver side front wing, and I thought this one would be easy! If you want to stick to 7J wheels then you can bolt these one without modification. However at...
Some bodywork
Spent a long time today fiddling with the tub and doors, the driver side seems fine now but the passenger side it still a little off. Had to stop to...
Wiring, and a few small things
Lots of wiring done under the bonnet : Bumpers bolted in - the nut is welded to the top so the bumper can be taken out from the bottom. There...
Bumpers
Bumper holes! Rather than taking the recommend route and blindly drilling holes for the bumpers in the back and then fitting the tub around it we fitted the tub and...
Bonnet panels
Did a lot of prep work on the bonnet side panels today. Did some initial cuts on the metal today to start fitting the panels in. Also spent a lot...
