I'm going to be building this car for next year but here is whats done so far, who knows what it'll end up like. There will be an awful lot of trial and error to get this baby to work right but I'm sick to the teeth of show cars so I need to have some track fun.
Any help is appreciated btw

In this batch of pic's you can see that every panel in the engine bay is being welded shut, all bolt holes welded, any gromit holes plated and fully seam welded in order to present a perfectly flattened engine bay. Also you will see that circled problem area's have been repaired and that the shell has started to make proper headway.
