Thanks guys for the good comments.

The story with the headlights was that I needed to make a couple of brackets so that the indicators were in the right place for the IVA - Mike they are the caterham style ones.

The bodywork was from Saturn Sports cars, while the dash and aeroscreen are from Carbon Mods.

The rear diffuser is from GBS for the wide Zero - happens to fit really well.

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.

Lovely car. I'll echo the comments about the nicest locost I've seen. What engine is it and what power/weight do you have?

Nice. Do you have a build dairy anywhere? I'm sure a few of us would like to see it.

Hey Luke,

Very nice car !! Top job. I am building mine at the moment and I love the bonnet, think the Saturn body might look nicer than the equinox.

I love what you have done with the tunnel cover, I am going to steal that idea as its exactly how I want mine. I had planned to use carbon look fabric so it's nice to see what it kit look like at the end. I also wanted to fit the rear diffuser so it's nice to know the wide GBS one fits nicely.

Great job!

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.

It looked good. Probably the best looking Haynes build I've seen.
