Unbelievably good work.
Nice and tidy as a 7 deserves…
Can’t wait to see and hear it when it’s done.

Have you estimated when might be ready?

Thanx...

Hope to have it running this year...

I hope to get the car painted by the end of March.

But probably need to paint it twice, because Jon at AtomicRex are tempting me with alot of Carbon parts..

just wondering.... how ur gunna go from here with the rear fender.. i think if it was me i would use wot u have now as a mould so its possible 2 reproduce em if anything happens ( especially since ur racing it) but not sure wot u've got in mind.

gotta say tho, each time i see an update i get even more impressed with ur handy work!

engine looks beautiful... if u didn't need it, it would make 1 hell of a coffee table!!

might have 2 come 2 u for some tips soon.. trying to find a fc 2 buy!

gd job buddy!

Who's making CF fenders for you then?


The fenders looks great Lars. I love the look of you car, looking forward to race with you on the track...
Maybe i need to turn the boost up to 30psi on my 20b to keep up with you.

Are you going to have the alt. polished? or at least painted black. Looks good otherwise, can't wait to see it in the car.

Keep the pic's flowing
