Forwards, backwards then slowly forwards

After getting back from holiday I realised i don't have that much time left to get this lot finished!! Dad had been busy while i was away spraying up the body, which again he has made a excellent job, especially considering he isn't a painter or have a spray booth. So here's a sneaky peek of the mid tub tub and rear


The initial idea was to have a wider centre stripe, but due to the lumps and bumps on the bonnet, applying the red and light blue stripes would have been impossible, so opted a narrower strip that only goes over relatively flat surfaces.

The recent TV coverage from the last Brands race featured a lot of my onboard footage (mainly because only 2 of us submitted any), so i thought i'd make the effort to improve the stability of the cameras hoping to recieve further good coverage and please Q20! So i weld a couple of brackets on for the cameras and while  its off, we decided the shabby looking roll cage would look a lot better if sprayed up in white.






So the car is looking pretty bare at the moment and further away from completion than before i started!!! I have at least now checked the car over mechanically, changed the oil and replaced the rear pads so other than body work the car is actually ready top race.
