Carbon fiber boot floor from absmotorsports

Cut the boot floor out, getting ready to put the CF in

[joakwin]

Sanded the subframe panel down to bare metal and painted it and bed lined it also

So far I got the rear beam mounted up to the shell but I still need to cut the boot floor to fit the opening and

Here I was doing the wiring, I used a wiring harness from speedway motors from the states, the harness is for a
Hot rod and I made it work for the mini chassis/engine

[joakwin]

The harness was fun,
A hot rod harness with mini switches/controls and mk1 metro clocks

Everything has been solder and heat tube covered


Moved the switches to the right side of the steering wheel

i didn't like the look of the little bit of blue you could see, so i took it apart and cleaned the lube out and painted the blue billet black
and then waited a day for the paint to dry all the way
and put it all back together

seems like so much work to just put hubs on a axle

[joakwin]

started to mount the coilovers, not 100% sure yet if they are gonna stay chrome

trying to get a feel for it right now, and sleep on it for a week or two
