Only thing I dont like is the rear still has the shaping for a spare which you will probably never use again.

The rest is uber cool though. Well done Lee and Stu

I said to stu about taking that out... As i thought the same as you but he said all it would do it add weight with filler and it would crack at some point and also thf flat back looks 'too' plain. The cut out adds shape....

Sounded good to me!

Exactly. Have you seen the back of a Dax Rush? Very flat and plain and boring IMO.

Looking superb

Stu, you need one of those rear diffusers

PS had offer accepted on a house in Sidcup, so might be able to give you a bit of relief from fixing/drying it next year, as I won't be 3 hours away

I bought stu a diffuser as well as a present dan. He had gone to fit it on his a few times.... And then bottled it as he couldn't face cutting a big hole out of his rear bodywork with a grinder!!!

I think now he has seen mine... He will be fitting his! Especially a it's HUGE and is getting in his way in his garage!

How about these rear lights for 'Project Trigger's Broom'?!

It would look shite, but at least when people asked WTF you were thinking, you can say "They're prototype McLaren lights"



Have those guys got good jobs or what

The car is looking amazing !

Fair play to Stu for all his hard work as he is doing a cracking job.

White on black looks brilliant, I'd leave it like that for sure.

This car undergoes more spec changes than your average formula 1 car!! They are all based on "What I want and what looks cool" though rather than R&D.

There will be tonnes of pictures taken tonight.

Good progress is being made. It looks stunning now and been re-wired over the last week to support the number of gauges and gadgets it runs!

Also going onto Pectel T62000 this week. Cheers for the stunning loom Ryan!

Got to finish the wiring, fit the plumbed in fire system, fit the new management and then put the seats back in and we are done. AIM dash going in at some point to link to the ECU but that maybe a later phase!

Chip, its not safe to assume anything.

By February it will probably be green, have wings, be made of some new composite thats not even invented yet and be running on high octane chip fat..............

Who knows!

What I can say is that by next week I expect it will still be white, in my garage and running on petrol with the T6 installed.

Not sure Doug,

We went to a PF one at Snetterton last year and there was certainly some strange people there that believed our Ford Powered Westies were not welcome. They complained and we were asked to stay off the track. But then let back on again.

I think Lee took his Porsche on which also upset some people too.
