Looks really good already, unbelievably mint for a budget track car lol

I followed your advice you gave me re- the stone chip on my shell. Purchased the gun and some tins and did it the other week -



Going over it in same colour as the body now, easier to do than I thought it would be.

Ok time for a massive update she is running Big big thanks to Gadget and dave jordan for doing the wiring side of things as i must admit to being no good at this lol anyway Gary came down sunday and wired up the pump and switches etc ,then they set about the loom ,stripped back what was not needed and after a few hours the old girl sparked into life ,and i must say it does sound nice with the 4 branch and stainless on,then it was the job of just tidying the wireing in the bay ect .some pics
Running the pump wireing


As the tray was going to be looked at in the future to be tidied up ,i had an idea of blanking the area off with a scrap of carbon ,this would hide the tray area (not rotton just untidy lol) and also the edis module was mounted behind out of sight,and the ecu loom run in the car.

Pump relay

Just need to get a bracket for the ecu

Fixed in a couple of stowage nets ,also got a bolt in rear brace this will go satin black.




Wired the fans on to a switch above the pump switch


Then got it down on all fours








Can get the front section of cage bolted down now and start looking at the seats and runners ,oh and the carbon
