i know its been done a million times over but im going colour coded to the outside and some real carbon fibre infills

Oh and also changed my mind on having white as the colour im thinking of grey like primer grey gloss and black roof ect with as much carbon as i can throw at the little bits let me know your opinions

cheers darren

Darren I haven't looked at your page for a wee while - you are moving along and some lovely work. Look at that Neil showing off his welding. He is amazing at it. All the best

:wub:
First thing I've got to get the brakes and wheels back on and the geometry set. Might even consider driving the car for a bit in between!

That said, I guess if I got the plates cut to size in advance then it would only be the attaching... Hmm.

:D
