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

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

One lightweight door fitted

I’m gonna have to weld in door bars which will help as a perch to sit on as I get in

Air intake plumbed

Don’t panic the back of the fans will have ducting to no warm air will be fed into the filter

Thank you sir.

They would be much better quality moulds if I was doing multiple castings, but it's make a mould, product, store the mould in case I prang the car lol
