with the car transporter trailer now finished, i can once again focus my attention on the car build.

I have since last posting, finished the glassfibre work on the nosecone. I have trial fitted it to the car and I can confirm that it now clears the engine. It looks kind of huge on the car but I'm sure it will all get back into perspective as i add bodywork.

I have also started (finally) panelling the interior. I have done the 2 engine bay panels, and the tunnel top that sits behind and under the dashboard. Next is the tunnel side panels, seat back and lastly the tunnel top (once the wiring loom is in)

I have also secured the battery cable with avaiation P-clips.

Today the exhausts arrived and i have begun work on fabricating mounting brackets for them. I want the exhausts close to the sides of the car and just above the floor line, so that in future, i can make GRP side pods to enclose them completely.

had to stop work to take Baby Natalie to the doctors (first round of injections today - and by 'eck did she scream.) so I'll hopefully continue tomorrow, after i have taken the cat to the vets. No, not joking, i really do have to take the bloomin cat to the vets.

Chow for now!
