The very first test drive
 
So we made our very first test drive yesterday, the project is not ready yet, the bonnet is missing ( I hope I'll get one from Fabby "soon" :) ) and other things like dasboard and so on, but my brother is leaving today to Switzerlan so he wanted to drive it at any cost :)

Looking great, what a milestone to reach. :)

Shame my pc at work hasn't got sound but looking like a damn fine car that...front wings suit those wheels after all so good job I cocked up and sent wrong ones.
Bonnet very soon honest:)

Btw, this is our "temporary" bonnet that we've made from aluminium just like the side pannels but we will put there the "original one" :). As u can see it's not ready yet as wel :).

P.S. Do u have Fabby the picture of the new bonnet that is 100% ready and in colour, in the first picture we saw, there it was in quite raw status.

Bonzo: yes it is stock, no improvements or changes, it has 140HP, but we will do some engine changes to higher it a bit, at least to 160-170HP :)

On one of the videos, the sump looks quite low - how much clearance is there?
Very very nice looking car - quite an aggressive look with the bare metal and black.

Fantastic effort,very nice.:D

Longerr 7th June 2009 08:01 PM

Thanks guys :), it will be all black we just didn't make it to paint it so it should be all black in the next event. The sump is very low, we are thinking about making a "dry" one because of that.
