Default Preparing my race car for the 2015 Season

Not done much at all with the race car over the winter, been too busy building my Race van, so today I got stuck in
Last week I picked up my excellent Mk Motorsport 6 degree rear beam, well impressed with it, Huge thanks to mark for turning it round so quickly for me

This is the last big piece of my race car jigsaw and something I should have done much earlier!

After we got the beam out we cut off the spring towers as I run coilovers so don't need them, we then cleaned and painted the floor above the beam as I had done the front floor last year so took the opportunity to do some more.

Nice bit of work in that beam, cutting it a bit fine for the first race then?!

How's your boy after the off?
