My new road And occasional track day car

[DF]

LOL
Most of the shell is going to be lovingly stored
The only non carbon panel parts on the finnished
Car will be the rear wings windscreen surround and floor
I'm also making the front spoiler 1 inch deeper
With provision for a splitter all in 2k twill carbon
I'm hoping now to leave the car without paint
Just laquer
I was bidding on a full new front panel as I thought this would be Easter
To take a mould off but was pipped at the post
I will have to use the car now which will just take
A little longer,

There's not going to be much of that shell I sold you left at this rate; you should have told me more about your plans and I could have sold you one that would have saved you a lot of work instead, it has holes in most of the right places already!

I hope people arnt unhappy with what I have done to the shell ? !
It should look the dogs and it wont rust hopefully !!

The less "sprint" left, the better.

Just a couple of pickys


Roof Just out of mold


The original steel roof weighs in at 15kg
This one is extreeemly strong as i have done it
2 k twill ,with a honeycombe core with kevlar reinforcement across the windscreen and at the 4 bonding flanges and 2 k twill to sandwich it all together


I have lots more on the go
Dashboard,
Full doors yes in full carbon, carbon copy of originals once painted you cannot tell,
bonnett
boot
wings
front valance
front spoiler 1" deeper that in working on
Its a carbon delight

Darren, this is truly beyond superlatives! Are you planning to market the carbon items to offset the cost of the project? There might be a few takers for those arches!

Keep up the epic work!

I hadnt thought about it but i suppose i could recoupe some cost as the molds have taken me a LOOOOONG time,
I want to finnish my car before i do anything like that

Alg1k is mothballed as i dont have the time to use it,
I have to do as much overtime to pay for my car bits and then dont have the time to work on it
I could do with 48 hrs a day
