Glad you appear to have got to the bottom of the problem.

I've had loads of setbacks with the car here, and I've come close to torching it on more than one occasion, I am not fortunate enough to be able to do the work myself so I am at the mercy of third parties....

For me I hope the delays and setbacks will all be worth it in the end - so keep going, and keep up the good work

Got the head lights sorted today, they were in such poor condition were almost completely yellow, since I wasn't planning on using it on road again I painted the lights black but after a rethink I would quite like to attend a few shows next year so thought I would try clean them up. First of used thinners' to remove paint, then a 800-1200 wet flat, cut back with mid then fine compound and a polish all done using the mop. While there I also opened them and painted the black plastic to match wheels etc....

Finally got the out and the FIA floor bars welded in and the race seat fitted, only had a steady run out as the map needs redoing but about 4500rpm cars feels pretty quick indeed and the intake noise is amazing. Unfortunately had no idea on speed as no longer have a speedo since ABS has gone but the revs where going up quick....
