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

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.

Mine at snails pace, waiting for my crossmember so AG can progress, few bits turned up a few days ago so hopefully a few more jobs can be done, sorted my wheels - dash display - rear brakes and elec fire kit.
Just want it in paint and back to Reyland.
Keep up the good work, if im down at KH i will introduce myself.

Stunning John,
I'll be going to Croft again this year so hopefully you and Mr Dalsy will be going so I can have a natter and a look around this.
