Looking good there Rosco. Must say iv been following you and it's a very good build. Wish I had a accses to CNC machines as iv had to do all mine by hand which does limit things. Looking forward to seeing it on the ground and on the road.

Cheers pal! Yeah a cnc is sweet, lucky to have use of one I guess,

Your builds sweet too, I've been looking at it on Flickr but can't seem to comment on it on the iPad, love your rear lights and did you wet lay the dash yourself? I wish I had of gone for aluminium sides, looks very smart, have you booked your iva yet?

Got a bit more done today,

Boot lid temple made up



And then as if like magic



Sorry forgot to take any pics, but yes I did it on my dads cnc, still needs a bit of fitting but waiting on some rubber bobbins now
Each of the three pieces will be bolted in place with the centre easy to unbolt and remove

Yes it is real carbon but only skined as I made my dash out of aluminium sheet first and covered it in vinal with the intention to re do it in carbon after but I was not happy with it so just done it anyway. Glad I did now. I'm going to do the same down the center tunnel.

Quick update from today, me and my dad fitted the bonnet aerocatches, went rather smoothly, I thought it was going to be tricky but turned out sweet







Next weeks job is to try and remember what's going on here


RichardH 3rd January 2016 10:28 PM

how did you do the front of the bonnet? i have bought four of those aero catches and was planning on using four but i have also seen some done with pins at the front

SeriesLandy 3rd January 2016 11:51 PM

I used 4 as the Saturn bodywork doesn't have a lip at the front.
Looking great btw.

Did you make your steering wheel boss??

yeah the bonnet has some little lugs that locate in the nose cone, there not that big though so i'm going to add a couple of long pins on the bonnet edge just to be on the safe side, i will take some pics when i do
