WOW, I need to come to queensland and just stare at this car for hours. :shock:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Okibi you could always fly over for the open day. I'm sure a fellow forum member would collect and deliver you to the airport :)

Red eye Friday, picked up and taken to Roger's Sat morning coffee at Burpengary, then down to the open day fly back in the afternoon...

I'm hoping for it to be on 01/11, but I can't be there long as my daughter is getting married on that day :(

Hi Mark, the way my weekends are filling up the 2014 Automotive Plus Open Day is looking more likely to happen in the second half of November.

Work on the front end has continued with progress on the skin for front bar plug.

Image

Image

Image

Image


More progress on the door moulds....

Image

Image


....and the side skirts.

Image


The first mould (rear clip) is completed and ready for the composite work to begin. :D

Image

Image


Back at my premises work on the chassis continued with the diet completed.

Image

Image

Image


The front anti-roll bar brackets were positioned....

Image

Image

Image


....and welded out.

Image

Image


The air-jack tubes have been fitted and welded out.

Image

Image

Image


Engine and gearbox out! :twisted:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Back on rubber and ready to go to paint!

Image

Image


Rubbed and undercoated....in super fast time by Mayne Paint and Panel! :mrgreen:

Image

Image

Image


It's not the correct paint code anymore! :P

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


It should go quite well with the carbon fibre panels. 8)

Cheers,
Danny

Air jacks, it is this thinking that shows the quality and attention to detail on this build. Plus I'm just jealous :)

Looking forward to hearing about it at World Time Attack!

Get those panels made - 1 week. Throw it all back together - 1 week. Gives you plenty of time to get out and test it.

All that paint is extra weight.

I think the air jacks will weigh more than the paint. But nice to have.
