A little Set back today
With the car on the ground and roughly setting ride height and camber to allow aligning the rear wheel arches we found the offside drive shaft was
too long so out it came.

The Final Push
Been a while without an update.
We didnt want a hole in the bonnet so here was the Mk1 intake with a panel filter
Paperwork is off to get the IVA date.
We did get the engine running after sorting out resistor values that we had that were wrong.
Small oil leak to cure then its ready to go, the Video to follow :-)

Carbon Wrap
Because the wings and scuttle panel and aero screen finish of the carbon varied so much it looked odd.
So we decided to wrap them in 3M vinyl which came out pretty good on the test pieces so we are doing the rest ready for final fit and IVA time.

Yeah thats what I thought, a little different and should be resistant to the stone chips a bit better

So looks like the only places in Scotland are Aberdeen or Livingston, both pretty far from me, saying that I haven't started building yet but
still........
