update 24/1/12



stu and dalsy been round helping the past couple of days , so got a good bit done


couple of things needed doing before i put engine in , alternator bracket needed modified so adjustment could be had









new gearbox got all the bits bolted on and fitted to engine with new crank seal








started getting side skirts fitted aswell , also 1/4 and rear windows fitted aswell after rear section of graphics went on
















also it was decided that we should try and get a dash fitted , or at least part of one anyway

possibly mount AIM dash into it or maybe some extra instruments , this was an old one we were using to test fit and chop

before the good one gets it and then off to get flocked













so good bit done over past few days , thanks to the people who lent a hand , chers guys



john

really loving the new livery, sublte but yet hard as nails.

What tailgate are you running grp?

A nice carbon fibre one would look good on the back of that, together with the roof and bonnet

We are going to be working on a universal dash which mounts onto the steering column made from carbon fibre, flocked on the front face and exposing the carbon weave on the rear. It will be able to house most digi dash's, aim, stack etc.

Another option to throw in the mix.

hi raj


tailgate is fibreglass , bonnet is carbon but painted

unfortunatley your not allowed to race with carbon roof

it would all look good though i have to admit


your dash sounds good , i could be you demo car , my aim pista would look well in it

will be in touch soon anyway , need some rear 1/4 carbon panels

my mate dalsy got some door cards from you , the ones you've put the picture up of , they look quality

Glad Dalsy is happy with our work, he is true gent and a pleasure to deal with. Could do with a chat soon mate about this dash panel, I could explain over the phone the main features of it so if you want to drop me your number I will call you when convenient.
