Making progress slowly. The rear end is back together now with a new rear light loom and full compliment of LED bulbs, which actually look fantastic. Rear clam repaired and modified, and all the mechanical parts back in and together. Now got all the suspension alignment, ride heights and corner weights to setup and fill the gearbox oil, along with as much fettling of body fits as we can shake a stick at!

On the front we got rid of the hinged rose joints at the front as one of the metal inserts was lost, and we replaced with quick release pins - which are actually as solid as a rock. The front clam was (quickly!) repaired and reassembled. Before and after shots here, having some issues with embedded links at the moment!:

Nice one Jonny can begin to think of the number of man hours in there. May see you at Snetterton.

Thanks Dom,

After a monumental effort from the team, we are about there. We have managed to repair all the chassis, redesign the rear end, rebuilt the gearbox and examine the engine, and repair all the bodywork, suspension and driveshafts. Went for a bit of a different livery at the rear - pretty pleased with how it came out. Roll on Snetterton on Saturday!

Hi Jonny

The weather forecast is for rain tomorrow but dry on Saturday so hopefully a good race day.

Please let us know if anything will prevent running on Saturday.

Here's to a great race.
