Nice work with the carbon, lucky.you have such great access to those facilities. All the weight saving helps, these cars are so front heavy

Can you get the pollen filter housing made? no longer available and mines all cracked and leaking.

Another update on carbon bits, as the engine stuff is still going so slow. But it will get there eventually.

This week we have been fiddling around with the dash board end caps. They still need a sanding and lacquering but are sure they will look superb on the car once fitted.

The pollen filter housing is a good idea.

I can now confirm my griddle plate with all the relevant ARP bolt’s & nuts have now arrived.

All we are waiting on is the rod bearing. But I have now been assured they are on their way to us too👌🏼

I just can’t wait to start putting pictures up of actual progress of the build itself. Never know might have it done this year😂😂
