I want to build something along the lines of the spire but with a roof. Can't afford Ultima prices though!
Nice work and the car is going to look great

Cant wait to install the other panels, as I wanted to take it to Exeter show at the weekend. I wont quite make it.


Oh and yes the vents on the rear panel are the corners of a seven tub

Looking good.
Pity it wont be ready for Exeter. We will have to get a convoy together for the trip to Stonleigh next year.
Hope to see you on track at castle combe next year!!

Very nice

It is going to be road legal?


Lightning - 17/11/09 at 02:58 PM

It will be road legal ....subject to the IVA man saying ok. That is the next job, going around the car with manual and checking everything. I know the fog light needs changing etc. I have also booked a session on a rolling road to get the emissions sorted.
I intend doing red stripes on a maclaren/ Audi r10 theme.

Wheezy,
Do you know what day you are going?
If you want you could take a small detour to Torquay??


wheezy - 17/11/09 at 04:18 PM

Not sure which day yet. Looking at the forecast Sunday looks like the better day
