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

Hope to see you on track at castle combe next year!!

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??
