Got my carbon fibre tube that I've been waiting for today so did a bit more on my gear lever









To say I'm happy with how it looks is an understatement, well happy with it! I'm going to get all the aluminium bits anodised to

Fitted perfect, I had to use the air good and heat to get them out though, was a hot sweaty oily job so no pics I'm afraid

Offered my floor up to see how well it fit, perfect, was well happy, as my chassis that I built with a tape measure matches a laser cut panel





All my small parts blasted ready for powder coat next weekend

Got my fuel tank







Testing for leaks



Only thing is my mate who made the tank has dressed the welds and sanded the tank so I think I'm going to get it powder coated

Made a few modifications to my bead roller, welded a handle on to apply the roller pressure and swapped the bottom wheel for a plastic one as the metal one was a bit heavy on the aluminium



Engine hatch marked out



Finished panel, I was a bit worried about ruining it, but it's turned out perfect, tomorrow night I'm doing the big floor panel

Got my floor beaded tonight with the help of my dad, could of done with another set of hands really as it's quite a big sheet

Turned out quite well, one bits a little dodgy but I will give it a little tap before I rivet it on





What it looks like from the inside
