Just sick of waiting :(

So I have been really busy with both job so finding the time to work on any of cars has been a mission, never mind annoying others to work on it too :) Got the engine mounted back in, wiring started again, custom fuel cell and the new dash arrived, hope to have it out for paint by the end of December as I still need to make the front bumper, dumb ass idea to wide arch her. Enough talking more pics :

Called up to the lads in Stone Motorsport, trying to get a push on atm on the car so while Brendan was on the mechanics I was tipping away fibreglassing the front bumper

Used some resin, wanted to stay away from filler as long as possible

Had to extend the side down also

So a bit has happened the past couple of weeks, got the fuel support painted up, new braided lines, billet fuel rail fitted, fpr, 740cc rc developments injectors and the exhaust system is all mocked up, just needs to be welded fully and we are well on our way, few more jobs to do but getting there thankfully :) Shout out to Stone Motorsport for all their hard work :)
