mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
Please say that you had yours delivered before mine!  Got another long weekend coming up, hopefully we can get our bodywork finished!
Looking good so far, you might well need to round off the edges of your suspension holes - very square edges are liable to crack afaik. I like the
idea of the side supports as well, are you going to race it?
Cheers

An old enterprise I believe, named 'Flying Custard', I was working on it last night getting it ready for the spring. I think it is quite a
well known boat at Inch and Peterhead clubs. It's come up well with a little bit of work

I Picked the kit up in October last year.. but ive not touched it much in the last 2 months... all that cold weather, and darkness kinda drains your
enthusiasm 
Once the car is built im going to get my MSA race license, and then join the Auto66 Club, they hold Hillclimb, and sprint events around the Eastcoast.
Places include: Elvington, Olivers mount, Cadwell, and Teeside Autodrome

The wheels finish level with the outside of the arches.
The suspension needs lowering, and some -ve camber applying, then it will be fine

Looks like a quality build! Have you polished your exhaust enough?

Looks very smart - I toyed with the idea and then thought it would be a nightmare to keep nice to I had mine ceramic coated.

My silencer is nice and shiny but the pipes are now starting to tarnish because of the heat. I think I might need to get some polish on them !!
Oh BTW nice colour, did you know that yellow cars are the fastest

Looks a great build and I hope you dont mind but we have found your build pics very helpful. Good luck and best wishes
