Hi All,

Short little update on the car. We finished the bonnet-catch system yesterday night. It was a pain in the *ss, but it works now. The windows and doors are in place. Next saturday we will be going to chris for almost a week to finish the car and set it up properly. So this little baby will be on the road within a months time.

We should set up a meeting this summer?!?! somewhere in the UK, that would be great.



Extra rollbar with seat-belt bolts. Great work Robin did for us. Will be finished in Candy Red next week in Aldbrough.

Hi guys, live from Aldbrough a little update on the car.

Chris is helping us out to set up the car and do some major changes on the steering column. Always good fun to hang around here.

Simon is doing the welding for the exhaust system, and he did an amazing job on that one.



The new steering bar he made in just 1,5 hours , it's already powdercoated and going in today.



Chris helped us with the throttle cable system for a LHD car, it works sweet.



Yesterday we had a day of doing some fun stuff at Cadwell park :)



More pictures tonight.

Cheers

A very early goodmorning,

It will be a exciting day today, ready for dyno and the first open road test run of the car. Chris will be doing to test run, so if it's going to break down it will be today :)

Yesterday we finished the new steering column and seatbelt bar.





The four wheel alignment was finished yesterday as well. I truly hope that the rear arches will hold with the clearance, if not it's back to the bodyshop we'll see.



More pictures to come.

cheers
