Thankfully with the car being the colour it is I can get away with it being carbon, no chance of painting it. I have a nice carbon streak down the car now.
Yes its the chaviest fiesta ever built
blud!!
169! is good but im thinking a little faster than that.

Mould for carbon wing
Hello Luke,
we ive been working on the wings and concerntrated on getting the flanges shaped for the vacuum seal. Not much to see but at least work is getting done all be it a little.lol
Filler
Plastic strips for the flange outline
Now just a thin layer of grp to hold it in place so I can then flip it over and create the smooth vacuum side of the flange
Well thats all for now, I need to go now and find this crab
Regards
Raj

There will be room eventually!
I mounted the battery (after the pic) behind where the passanger seat will be.
Oil tank needs an ally platform made so it sits up under dash more.
Then we can fit your fat cankles in
