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,

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

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!
