More power wouldnt help much for drag racing, the front wheels were spinning for the first 5 seconds!!

painfully slow progress lately, working away a lot combined with waiting for deliveries has slowed me down a fair bit.

Once again i'm so dissapointed with the quality of the repair panels i've used I've decided to rip them out for genuine replacements. This week should see my new inner wings delivered - pucka heritage jobs.

I'm starting to think I should have just got another shell.....but at least i'll know that this one is perfect!
