My work is crap basically cause I dont have tools. Some bad metal scirrors wont do the job...

Fortunatly I have friend(that rallycross dude) near who has skills are tools to do stuff. He has helped me alot especially designing stuff. And more important, how fabricate them easily so they are easy to remove and put on. Like these fmic alu stuff. Now we are planning to do some molds to get some fibreglass parts. He is glass fibre expert him self...

Yes, you project is really an inspiraation. Absolutely amazing thing to follow.

There you go, that’s what makes the world go round. Buddies mucking in together helping out one another.

Group of mates, a common interest. It gets it done. Keep going! Rally cross season over. All guns blazing

Sorry for the stupid mad large pic on the last post..........dunno why it did that

Quick easy night tonight.

guide coat, sand, wax on, wax off (Mr Miaggi style) n gel coat. Lay it up tomorrow, fit Wednesday.

I'm hoping the aluminium turns up and get that cut bent and fitted before the weekend.

So the Rotus is coming down off the ramps this weekend. It went up on 24th Feb to start making the wings. 9 months almost!!!!

My 1 year anniversary on MRC this Sunday lol Id buy the cakes, but id eat them all myself lol

Yup cheers guys.

Longggg way to go yet

1 relocate the air filter
2 make the rad fan exit ducts to suit the air intake position
3 make a new bonnet to suit the rad fan exit ducts
4 make the upper nose cone and headlight mounts
5 make the lower grill, intakes and splitter
6 practice the dark arts of wiring

Should take me up to spring
