Started some of the repairs and updates to the body.

The lower rear panel is being replaced with a fiberglass panel, sick of having to repair the steel one.

Should be a lot easier to just bolt on a new panel when it gets damaged, plus it's lighter!!

 

Tony has started on a fiberglass rear spoiler, again lighter than the plastic one that is on there now, also if it gets damaged, easier to just glass another up than trying to find another spirit wing.

 

Stripped the boot out to repaint it after the jack cames loose and chipped all the paint.

More goodies arrived today, swapping out the steel nuts that hold the tail lights in with Alloy nyloc nuts.

Also changing the bolts that hold the door panels on, to black alloy dome cap screws, they'll look better with the carbon fibre and you won't catch yourself on the bolt.

Front screen has been removed so it can be resealed, for some reason the seal failed and was letting water in.

Windscreen guy should have it done this week.

Back end is almost ready for paint, hoping to do that on saturday along with the fiberglass rear panel.

Also think we have the oil breather problem finally sorted, apparenty 4AGE's, when they are highly stressed fill up the RH rocker cover and dump the oil out the breather pipe, so we've baffled the LH rocker cover and now have our breather out that side, reason being, is the LH side has 2 oil returns and a huge vent between the head and the sump. fingers crossed that it's sorted this problem.
