Today was a bits and pieces day, getting stuff ready for exhaust Monday.
I'd been told that fibreglass bonnets lift in the middle and are prone to cracking, didn't fancy this, I'll take the extra weight over not getting the bloody thing painted every 5 minutes

Ben was hatching a plan, he was walking around the workshop scratching his head, picking up bits of material, looking at it, then putting it back, he decided on this

Then he fired up the mill and an hour later had produced this, to say I was impressed would be an understatement, his skills are next level

It's on some box section rear shocks as we didn't have any in stock, the fronts are just some spares that were in stock
On the trailer Monday and off to the exhaust guy to work his magic.
Shell safely dropped at the exhaust place today. Game on, will be ready by 18/12 and down to see the man that knows hose on 19/12.
Looks ace on all fours
Love it! That mans work is ace!
Collected from Edwards Motorsport after Mike pulled out all the stops and worked over the weekend to get it done for me, as some personal stuff meant our original collection date no longer worked for me.
His skills are next level.

Another job crossed off.
Mock up began immediately that I got the car back to Bens place as it's being dropped off for all the plumbing to be done Thursday morning

The exhaust looks superb, every bit as good as my Simpson one.
Mocked up and ready for Mitch.
Will be dropping it off tonight
