I keep saying it, but I LOVE this car lol. You've done so well with it. Turned it into something more than special.

Keep it up Chris.

Got some brand new headlight lenses, the old ones are just crap and need too much time to make right.

Got a carbon sheet to replace the rear window.





I plan on covering the incar side with alacantara and leave the carbon on the engine side.

Should save quite a bit of weight high up.

decided i would buy a V and fix it up

JB welded a bit of mesh on the inside.





Then fibreglassed the inside to give it lots of strength.





Then i went over it with some p38 which was sanded.



Then a coat of grey



And as it sits now with its first coat of black.




2nd coat of black 
 

 


and finished
