Starting to come together now Andy!
I think mines going along the same route as you now... mines not going to be ready when i want it to be
So looks like we still might have our battle on

Wheels are looking ace, still makes me wonder if mine can be done..

[andywaller]

yeah mate, deadlines are a waste of time, you just have to say well its done when its done.

i would find out about your wheels would look mental, failing that go for those new force rims that fit over 8.4" brakes. i gotta say id rather you than me about cutting down those arches, clear carbon is a bugger to cut as the laquer flakes i had it a tiny bit when i trimmed my boot floor.

Ahh nuts, I was hoping it would be a fairly easy job to cut...
The way I was thinking was, mark out where I want to cut with a Scribe, then either go very slowly with a junior hacksaw blade along the line, or a sharp Stanley knife... I'd best find out if I can get my wheels done first...

and yep, Deadlines on these type of cars, are a waste of time lol

a juniuor hacksaw would just shread the edge i think. if i was going to do it i would proberly scribe the line, cut a bit away from this and then sand back the rest of the way. whatever wear a mask, that stuff is bad.

[wilcooper]

Can't just do a hell of a lot of sanding? following the direction of edges?

i have finished wrapping the exhaust now and it looks good, im going to lock wire the ends instead of useing jubilee clips like a have at the moment, im itching all over now though the fibers get everywhere

[ed4ran]

Ive heard it recommended that you soak the tape in water before applying it to stop the dust etc coming off and covering you.
I guess its abit late to say that now though

[andywaller]

ah i had heard that too, but i thought it was to make it shape more easily, oh well like you say its done now!

just won a pair of boot hinges on ebay, bargain. im actually officialy addicted!

[supermotolee]

right time for an update i guess, at least time to update that i wont be updating.

i have decided that i will not be putting up any more pictures as there have been people using them and i dont want them and my ideas being copied.

i have been working on the car in the last few weeks and its relly starting to come together with the rear valance being welded on and the sills too, i have just started sorting out the scuttle and hope to get these and the a panles on in the next week or so.

i havent got my boot from curley yet but im ready to get that on when it arrives, and the front end will go on once the a panles are on, in sort i want to get the body work finsihed in the next 6 weeks ready for............
