Hi,

I realise that a lot of people will be getting stuff done during the fantastic four day holiday but I thought I'd post some pictures of my car now that I have made some progress at long last.

I have few of them in the post but here are a few of the highlights:

Looking good there Steve.

Steve...really spooky! it feels that I am looking at my own build in a lot of cases!

I have done many things in the same way.... The extension for the gear lever, the nose cone hinge etc etc etc..

nice job!

HI Steve,

Where did you get the carbon dash about,I'm after something similar

Steve Lovelock - 25/3/08 at 05:10 PM

I made the dash out of carbon effect plastic from esp plastics.

I know the purists get offended by abs type plastic but it looks good and is easy to use.

did you get the 4mm thick version?

I had the 2.5mm thick version i think and its very flimsy


Steve Lovelock - 25/3/08 at 06:03 PM

I did use the 4mm version for the dash and then stuck it to aluminium sheet for extra strength. It is still flexible. I have bought some thinner sheet for things like the wheel arch protectors and the rear shelf/boot cover. Subsequently changed my mind on the rear shelf though due to potential petrol problems.
