coming on great Colin, wheres the half spare wheel bit that was there wasn't that in the regs ?

shame about the hinges, as the doors was practically on

Half the spare wheel well is still there as before! It'll just be hidden under the new false floor.

I should hopefully have this carbon dashboard ready for you by the weekend

Spot on Chris, very much looking forward to it!

[Lewis.]

Looking good as always Colin, is the colour scheme still top secret?

Yes.

Well, at least until the weekend when all will (hopefully) be revealed............

[Lewis.]

Ooh very good That clutch looks far too good to hide by the way, as Mark said, you need a clear inspection cover, would be lighter too

When I used to scruitaneer with the MSA, we were told bellhousing and clutch cover modifications were a massive no-no.

drag racing seems to be more leniant on it though

Some positive progress today......

11am, and the car has a coat of primer;



11.30am, and the re-machined clutch plate arrives by courier, and actually fits this time;



And throughout the rest of the day several coats of paint and lacquer are applied;























So the painting is finished, and tomorrow the suspension goes back on so I can get it back to my workshop and start on re-assembly.

To say I'm pleased with it is something of an understatement, the finish is better than I could have hoped for, and I can't wait to see it in daylight.

The colour is a Lamborghini one, known as Grigio Estoque, and found on the Aventador model.
