Some of you may remember me buying this ex F750 car a few months back....Wasnt sure what I was going to do with it...

But now its nearly complete

What did it look like before? or should I say what will it look like when its done?

Looks pretty interesting.

Looks like it should be very quick

Is your exhaust outlet below 60 cm from the ground?
From the photos it looks a bit high?
(Only a problem if you intend competing in the car MSA "blue book" Section C(b) 22)

oooh! stunning!

not sure i like the exhaust up like that though...

there appears to be quite a bit cut out around the trans tunnel - is there anything holding the prop at bay should the worst happen?

It looks so right! You've been busy.

One tiny comment - I hate those plastic switches!

Keep up the good work!

that looks amazing
and i like the exhaust like that!
is it going to be sticking out of the bodywork?

Chears all.

The plastic switches may look sh*te but they are cheap and functional!

The exhaust does look much better in real life. Ideally I would have had a custom exhaust created so that the silencer would exit out of the side of the car, sadly funds do not permit. The exit should be pretty much 600mm when the car is on the ground!

There is a solid steel plate between the drivers legs and the prop as well as 5 box section retaining "straps". On top of that there is an ali/fibreglass tunnel. That should offer plenty of protection for most eventualities! (And yes I have seen the pictures of what happens when it goes wrong!)

This is what the bodywork looked like on the origional car:
