Hopefully will be able to have some quality time on it this weekend to get more stuff ticked off my to do list..

Looking awesome. Can I ask where you sourced the mesh for the grill?

Can I ask if you know the melting point of the rubber or plastic edge trim on the soon to be very warm exhaust?

luvin the quality John luvin it

What can I say, it absolutely stunning, I too noticed the rubber on the exhaust.
You have beaten me too it as I too am planning to send the headlight cables through the arm and out of sight, can I just ask a question though have you drilled through your top rail as that is my plan and to weld a section of pipe in to return some of the strength back then where it passes through add a couple of layers of heat shrink to protect the cables

Not sure how it's been done here but I just have a 6mm hole through the top tube to route the headlight wires into the headlight tube.

Hi all,
I appreciate all your comments guys (good and bad) means a lot to me, helps me stick with the build.

Sorry David nearly forgot to reply.. We had some mesh kicking around at work which I believe is expanded galvanised mesh. I'll see if I can find where it came from.
I used a bit of 19mm cds tube for my light bracket passed through both side walls and fully welded both sides like a crush tube. I then covered my cables in split conduit which was just the right size to fit in the tube to stop the cables chaffing...simples.

Hi Phil and Arfon,
Not too sure about the temperature for the rubber
You're both right though it needs to be removed but at least it stopped me scratching the silencer whilst I positioned it (poor excuse I know).
Well I guess I'LL shorten the strap at the back to tighten things up again, it will look better without the rubber I must admit.

Thanks for the input...

Hi all,
Well I'm getting to bolt stuff on and leave it on...LOL
Well I've been fitting my rear wings today at last. I've been working on the car from front to back finishing off all those tedious jobs.
Here's the results....



Fitted front indicators with extensions.



In the process of fitting IVA trim to front suspension..



Started to install rear suspension.



The only problem I've got at the moment is finding time to work on it.
Work is a 6 day a week schedule and son now plays football on a Sunday and daughter show jumps at weekends, dog needs walking and wife just keeps moaning about what I haven't done around the house....

Hi all,
Well I've been thinking about making a diffuser for my car from ally. Now do these really make a difference to the handling of the car or do they just look good.
I would think covering the rear under tray would help somewhat but unless you know about aerodynamics would it make a difference in performance/handling.

The exposed diff area would benefit from being enclosed. IIRC, the word parachute was used when I was talking about diffusers with another forum user a while back.
