Well, i had an issue with a leak on the vac bag. (took 2 days to find it) And long weekend family stuff.

The bumper is done, just have to clean up the clay and give it a wash. As well as a trim around the edges.

I took a before and after shot. It still needs trimming to sit in the right spot, and it is as bit high at the front sitting on the bricks.

That isn't going over any speed humps any time soon. :P Should be a weapon though; looking forward to seeing what it weighs at the end. Any rough estimates?

I am hoping to save about 260 kg's over standard to bring it to about 800kg's. We will see when it is done. This is a kids size batmobile, i am sure they wouldn't want it.

Wow great progress, not sure if i'm sold on the stepped sides yet but awesome work, stunning.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
