Silverstone National Prep (or lack of it)

After a hectic few weeks i eventually got round to looking at the car on the tuesday before silverstone! Not ideal, and something i had promised i wouldn't do, but I just didn't have time before hand! After Mallory Both rear arches were damaged, but other than that, apart from anything i found while checking the car, there wasn't much else to do other than the spanner and visual check anyway.

My plan is to fit a full new set of bodywork over the winter as the body is looking very very shabby. A respray would help, but i can't bring myself to respray over the top of the lumps and bumps. I'm also sick of cutting myself on sharp bits when i wash it! So considering there are only 2 more races i decided just to cut off the damaged wheel arch spats and whack a bit of fibre glass over the cracked bits to hold it together.

A spanner check and visual inspection uncovered no problems, so the car was loaded onto the trailer ready for an early start on Thursday.
