Fire for all, looking good:)

However, fuel lines through the car?! Tut tut, not something I would be happy with after all the trouble of building the fire wall etc. unless you\'re going to be covering them up?

Quote from: re japi;861650Holy crap, I would call those fuel lines! Massive. They can feed cats to that engine ;)

Yeah, no excuses. :) Everybody wants to see that beast. And those who dont appriciate to see car in build, are morons... ;)

Lol, we\'ll see, depends if I get all the panels back to make it look a little more respectable.  :)

It was always the plan to run the pipes through the car, it\'s race legal and nothings going to get through the stainless braiding. :)

Not too much to see whilst the wiring is being completed.

Many more updates will be coming next week.

The fuse board is nearly completed and will be fixed to the bulkhead shortly





And this is Glen who is finishing all the sparky stuff

And I know most have seen this on FB but thought I\'d share for those not on it.

I got bored and built the car in me living room !!  :thumbsup:

I\'d love to say yes Grant but it\'s a fail on that one I\'m afraid, she defo won\'t be running and there is an invite
only event that he may never be asked to again at the McLaren Tech Centre.... I know.... you hate me !!   :2Rolleyes
