Very very cool!!

Just one liiiitle minor thing I would have done , and that would have been to weld all the small holes on the inner wings, as you most likely dosen't need many of them :P

But a very nice build indeed!!!!

Okay I see.

You are probably right about that most of them won't be very visible, but they will drag dust and dirt into the bay, but you'll most likely never allow it to be dirty anyway

good luck with the completion of the build

Good work mate . But one small tip you dont need the blead nipol on top iv now done this mad 2 times now and trust me on this you wont need to bleed . All you do is get all the kit on the car and put the FLUID in and push the cluch arm back woods 6 or 7 times and it will blead its self up . Have you got your master cilinder yet ???
sorry about the spelling
