Bought new fuel and brake pipe at the weekend. Also bought a single small washer bottle as i've removed the rear wiper...
I was at Detling Kit car show and saw some nice racing pedal boxes and hydraulic hand brakes >.< !!!! DAMMIT I WANT THEM ! Haha

Love it.
Only thing I'd say is fill the wiper hole in the midwing, looks funny when there's no wiper there.

Its looking great Shane, its come a long way i can't wait to see it all finished :D

BUT

I am going to kick your A$$ for not painting that engine up !!!

The car is soo clean you need to clean the engine up aswell man, going over them with a drill wire wheel makes them look good if your not a fan of painting them.

I'll tell you why i haven't.... I'm more than likely to blow this engine up :lol:
I have a spare i'm going to build.... pistons, rods, ported etc etc (That one i shall paint)

I will swap the engines over once it's built up or the other one blows up xD

That's a tricky one :S I'd like to think lighter. If it wasn't for the cage it would be much lighter....


This is an old picture... It's changed a little bit on the front now.

It's under cover right now... Obvisouly, because the better car is in the garage ;)
