Default New body parts

We have now added the aero screen, dash and boot to our collection here is a link
"http://www.equinoxproducts.co.uk/shop/viewcategory.php?groupid=18"
We have been asked to make a nose like the Saturn one but with
an oil cooler intake at the bottom, the pattern should be ready for a
picture at the end of next week so keep an eye out for it. I would like your
feedback before it goes under a mould.

Have no fear you will get some constructive criticism on here I am impressed with the progress you have made on the rest of it. I like the rear tub with the lid and dash panel. Its all a time saver when it comes to finishing off the car. I will also be looking for some slightly extended rear arches to cover some fat rear rubber, I am not alone on this one either so it may be worth you looking at this in the future. Keep up the good work.

Impressive I am impressed with your progress because you are nose to the grindstone and getting on with it. Not easy to develop new products and earn the sheckles at the same time. Next time I am down you way is it ok to pop in and have a nose? Seeing is believing

Fine! Another question. The rear panel is designed to fit the book chassis or it needs the modification like the Saturn one?
