Marks 1.8 build

[mark]

I Collected my kit mid October, Options are satin black powder coat, Kawasaki Green body, Quick rack and twin hoop rollbar.








Had a good run of 3 days on the car. All suspension set up, engine wiring complete and running, next job lights etc and fuel tank cover / exhaust. Plan to complete this month but not in time for Stonleigh.


Any help with locating mirrors, headlight spacers and IVA form examples would be great.
Cheers Guys

that carbon fibre looks great! anyone know where i can get a few large rigid sheets? id quite like to do my floor and bulkhead the same

carbon mods do sheets of diff size and thinkness, it is very costly thought... any chance you have found somewhere is get some at a good price mark?
car is looking sweet by the way.

Hi
I cheated! the carbon is self adhesive vinyl. I painted the panels first then covered them in vinyl. Sorry but could not stretch budget to the real thing. Bought it on Ebay.

[r16]

wow, it looks spot on mate!
i found sheets big enough but they are £300 per side so i think vinyl is the way forward :-)

[ollieballs]

wow! looks very convincing indeed! ive had a look on carbon mods and they dont seem to do large panels in anything over 1sqm with a thickness good enough to put any weight on.. sort of blows a hole in my floor pan ideas! i must find a large sheet! although with an end result that convincing the vinyl is a very tempting thought.. and its not as if we realy need to shed that much weight haha

[mark]

It looks pretty good, costs about £10-15 on ebay to buy. I first used this on my TVR dash when the wallnut went. Works really well and is weather proof.

See the link to an example.

Mark,

How's the build coming along?

Hi Mark

Love the colours - really nice

I also used sticky carbon fibre look-a-like stuff, and 1 year on it still looks great

Cheers

[mark]

Making very slow progress due to new baby arrival in November.



Battery box

Fitting seats, cycle wings, lights and plugging is are the main jobs left. Need better weather to get it outside to really make progress.

Looks like its coming on very nicely Mark, just remember its not a race.

Like the extensive use of Carbon Fiber and the very tidy electrics, see you've decided to shift the battery up front.
