White with Brawn GP colours will look absolutely mint!!! (No pun intended)
Are you going to use Brawn GP logos and company sponsers (Virgin) as well or will you not run into potential copyright issues with that?

It needs it after the total and utter abuse its had since I finished the last update!!!
That said, its performed really well and I dont think a single person has overtaken him either on road or track yet!!

Some progress pics.
old arches off.
for sale VERY cheaply if anyone needs any! far from mint though!
new extra wide one on right... only temporary whilst I wait for some full carbon ones to be made...
Some carbon stone guards should make them look cooler during the wait though
new carbon Aero front wings. CSR style ones... supposed to really work well at speed. I will test that!
you can see the difference here shown against the old ones... also for sale cheap!
driveshafts out... being replaced by new longer ones as the car is going even wider at the back now.... these came off VERY easily and the 77 year old Torx bolts gave stu no trouble at all
Last look at the old (well newish hahaha!-sorry stu!) fuel system before its all sorted by Proalloy... bigger capacity for more laps on track! and wont get fuel surge either...
The fuel pump position will be moved to make way for the Carbon diffuser as well!
Cage is all off now as its going for some white paint after its back from Proalloy...
getting excited now!
Massive thanks to Stu for all his hard work AGAIN!!!!
Now we are on Evo 37 of the Westy.... I'll have a quick tally up... and rounded up to nearest Ł5...
My labour bill now stands at the enormous total of Ł0.00

yep! 
I have actually just surpassed ALL of the previous goal post moving now though....
see those shiny new rear shocks? They have done about 200 miles.... and work really well to be honest.
Well I decided I wanted some new cooler and slightly better ones to go with the new wider wishbones that are going on ... So last week I bought some Nitrons for front and back. They haven't even arrived yet...
and then on sunday that bastard Sean talked me into buying some bloody Ohlins from him

Same day that I entered the Concourse in my filthy Ford, just so I could get free infield parking
Those Cossie discs were mint after the Trax warping session, followed by the post Trax skimming session!
Martoon will do them, I think his standard fee for a small job like that is a grand

3. Fun and easy to drive
