Default Finished Car

For those of you who will not be able to get to Exeter kit car show to see it in the flesh, I thought I would upload a few pics.

The car is finished except for a little bit if trim on the seats etc.

Any comment appreciated, especially if you think I have missed something for iva.









Cheers

Gus

Well done, a tip top job

A huge well done on building a very striking Roadster

May I ask what you have made the boot lid cover from?

Funny you should ask that Handy.

The first rear panel I had delivered from Triton got broken by TNT right above the cut out for the rear suspension. Mark made me a replacement & I got to keep the original.

Cut it up into a few pieces. Hey presto... boot lid

I like it, & what a great way of using something that was damaged beyond its original intended use

Now where can I find an orange damaged tub???? Spuuuuuddd lol

again Gus, thats one nice Roadster, you must be very proud of it

just looking at the pics again, where have you put the side repeaters? just about to fit mine.

cheers
andy

Thats looks really good Gus, green and black looks nice together.

The only thing i would check is that you've got the 30deg forward on the front wings, they're probably okay but look a little far back.

Well Done...AndyH

Handy,

If you look at the second picture, you'll see a small orange repeater in the side of the rear wheel arch.

Spud,

The cycle wings were put on with markings on the wheels. Following some advice I had, I put a spirit level vertically down from the front of the arch, and it is in front of the metal parts of the wheel.
All I can do is wait and see. I think I have covered all areas, but there is bound to be something.

Cheers

Gus
