well i have just finished putting in the engine on my everyday car, so i will give that a weeks worth of tinkering time and then its all attention turned to building the workshop for the racer!!!

i cant wait to get it inside so i can work on it and actually leave stuff fitted overnight! having said that i will be buying some big padlocks for the workshop doors!

hmmm thats nice, also CF boot floor...ooooh!!!

[Matrix]

how come you didn't put a carbon rear valance on? fair bit of weight off with a c/f one

[Racer_Pete]

Loving the CF bumpers to! How much was the boot floor if you dont mind be asking, & Did you get them from Curley? pete

[andywaller]

never really thought of a carbon rear valence, i thing the metal one gives so much strength thats why i put it back.
i was going to run without one like a miglia but the panel just seemed so flimsy

the bumpers were from the carbon weezle and the boot floor is a curley item, cant remember how much it was though.





its a 5 week month for me so i have a few quid to spend, and have sorted out htis months spendings so wait and see what i get at the end of the month

i have also bought some more gas for my welder and some cutting discs so i can get on with some work.


got l2b this weekend and then a few weeks on the workshop till i have to stop and work on the every day car again to get it ready for the mot

here is a picture of my seat!!!

it looks a bit rubbish in this picture because of the flash




and here a few pictures of the miglias.

i got some good ideas from these mostly to do with rear subframe location, so i am now going to make some billet subframe mounts and cut out the rear most section of the frame, then i will run my rear anti roll bar inside the car and make so rose jointed drop links to connect it, swish!
