On the second picture, the end of the chassis rail looks open?
Also the rear of the top wishbone is open, do you get a cap for this?

That doesn't belong on the track. It belongs on some ones bedroom wall.

Stunning. Gorgeous! Boffo! (I'm envious). That's just the garage!
The car's none too shabby either.

Cheers for the comments guys,
Yep i've got caps for the end of the chassis rail, but thats a good idea for the wishbones - could cover them over too. Cheers!
I'll post up some more shots after the weekend

Did you put something on the backside of the side panels. They look pretty from inside the car. Somewhat shiny. Or is it just the photo angle. I am
about to put on my panels and was just thinking of adding an aluminium panel behind it.

The chassis colour is just a silver powdercoat, supplied straight from MK!
Yep thats an aluminium panel on the inside, thought it looked a bit better than the fibreglass.

Did you bond the aluminium panel to the fiber glass, or to the chassis?

Did you treat the ally with lacquer or clear powder coat? Bare ally looks ok for a month or two, but looks a bit naff when it goes dull

Still the dodgy roll cage front legs. When is MK going to rectify this abortion?
What's under the front roll hoop bottom mounts? Not a lot from what the pics show.

To be fair this has been discussed in his previous thread so no point in digging it up again. Owner has been made aware of the differing opinions on
the legality of the cage.

The legality of the cage is the least of the problems.
What's supporting that front leg lower end? In mid air on a piece of 3mm plate???
I've done a few cages in MK's, and never been responsible for something like that.
Cheers,
Nev.

Why do you hate MK so much, this seems much more than just an opinion on a rollcage leg, what's really bothering you. Are you and procomp
related?
