Hi all had a couple of days off work so had a play with the cossie
test fit of the carbon rear quarter things

Rear number plate surround

And the cover for the plug leads

Then went to fit the oil filter relocation and cooler,found that the chassis engine mount fouled the take off :BangHead:

So need a different type!!
Test fit of the carbon grp A mirrors


need to bond them on to the door
Cut some carbon to mount the motec dash in the clocks and got some leds to use as warning lights oil/battery/high beam/ECT



Test fitted the rear beam


cleaned and painted the diff and drive shafts



Finished the near side front suspension




Got to make a spacer to lift the steering will do that near the end
