Its Been A Long Time Comming!! (pic Heavy)
Discussion
Started building the race car over a year and a half ago!
Had some very difficult times getting it ready but its now done!
I first tested at Brands Hatch 3 weeks ago with a half finished car.
Have just got back from testing today and am delighted to say all is well! I havent managed to get the rear wing on yet but that is being done next week, apart from this its complete minus some stickers etc.
Managed some really quick laps today so all is looking good for this year.
Anyway here are some pictures of the car in its various stages of build. Not many unfortunatly as the build took over, followed by some at todays test day.
Thanks
Mike

The only bits that i have had done by other people are:
Roll cage: Any Robinson Race cars
Plastic Screens: Plastics for performance
Fiberglass Modifications: David Hillis (Plasticman)
Loads of great advice from Andy at APM.
Apart from that it has just been me and my Dad. Which kind of makes it all the more satisfying.
