Just an observation from someone whose dayjob is lightweight structual design...........

There's some critical areas between the screen and front strut tops that appear to have a few too many holes for my liking. I think your front end torsional stiffness may suffer. I don't see enough tubing in there yet to make up for the loss in strength in this area.

Most input on the structual side has come from our mechanic who spent 12 years building james thomsons touring car shells - he hasnt missed anything believe me

Ok guys a little update.....

The shell is now finished. All painted and ready for the rebuild. I will be collecting it today and taking it back to the workshop. The rest of the pannels, bumpers, bonnet, doors, wings etc will be ready at the end of the week.







Let the fun begin

Just been & picked the car up today. Grabbed a couple of shots.

The car's now in the workshop ready to start gaining some weight









First thing on the list is the subframes, which will be getting lighter and will be stonger, I am not using my rear subframe at all I have another one without the Hicas setup.

Come on ed, Simons cars looks like a bogey, mine is nothing like a tea bag!

Granted It may look like one at the moment but once it's built up
