Thanks guys for the good comments.

Like Talon said, I needed to make a couple of brackets for the headlights so that the indicators were in the right place for the IVA.

The rear wing protectors and aeroscreen are from carbon mods, and the rear diffuser is from GBS for the wide Zero - happens to fit really well.

The bodywork was from Saturn, but the inlet manifold was chopped and bonded back together with Chemical Metal to get it to fit under the scoop.

Sorry no blog but Loony's link shows all of the build photos - thanks Lucas.

The transmission tunnel was made out of MDF and bendy ply, before I covered it in foam and a carbon like fabric - it slots down over the transmission tunnel.

Your car looks stunning, you must very proud of such a high quality and well finished build.

How are you enjoying driving it?

Where did you get your carbon fibre exhaust can from? And did you have any issues with it for IVA?

Cheers,

Bill

Just thought I’d mention that the car will be on the CKC stand at Stoneleigh this weekend, and is in the magazine over the next two issues.

I've just finished reading the article in Ckc. A very nice build

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
