I don't think it would be in the owners best interest to sell it. I'm not sure if all parties who contributed last year have been remunerated in full.

Cheers,
Danny

More progress on the rear wing assembly was made in the past week with the LH lower structure fitted...

Image

Image


...and the complete lower structure welded out.

LHS

Image

Image

Image


RHS

Image

Image

Image


We also trial fitted the APR GT-1000 rear wing with some dummy uprights.

Image

Image


The highlight of the week was receiving the materials for the removeable section of the airbox...and were promptly tacked together. :D

Image

Image

Image


Then positioned in the engine bay to make sure all was as expected.

117 days and counting until WTAC 2014. :shock:

Cheers,
Danny

Thanks James. No it went on Nik Kalis' Evo...which I believe is running out at NSW Timeattack today (Wakefield Park).

Well they shouldn't have sold it then! :mrgreen:

To go with a similar engine Mark? :P

Magpie wrote:Is the wing above roof height?

No. In accordance with Open Class WTAC rules, the highest point of the 2nd element is level with the top of the roof.

Danny
