hi great job excellent paint finish. i like the idea of the side panels. Its something i've been thinking about how to go about doing. I know the idea is if you have a bigger hole at the rear of the engine bay that at the front nose cone a negative air pressure will be created inside the engine bay as you drive along which will force air through the radiater. it will solve overheating while running but not standing still. nice job





my aim is to build my own locost wether it takes me a week or 10 years to get started, i'm sure i will sometime

Cheers guys, I'm happy with the paint job, the car is sitting a little high at the mo, I still need to set the ride heights,corner weights ect.
The side panels seem to help with cooling and I wasn't keen on bonnet vents, over all the car goes well
So happy all round

Cheers
