The car is a real credit to you, the finish is excellent.

I manged to chip the paint off my chassis mount brackets as well. And my compression strut brackets. And my battery tray.

Think I'll be using a lot of that heat reflective material, I managed to get some over spray on the inner wings that could do with covering up!

thanks mate
luckally my old fellers a painter ive knocked and banged a few minor areas and also my dad lowered the car on the ramp and tweaked the front spoiler on henry the hoover so when its all nearly finished he can do some touching up he he. the car was rolling but i had a brain wave at weekend after seeing my mates new shiny anodised hubs and decided to strip all the running gear off and box up all the hubs and anti roll bar etc all ready for anodiseing and plating just need to find a anodising and replating place around the yorkshire area then let the fun begin

i wish it was ready for the stages mate.but its still a long way off.ive pulled the car back in bits for some anodising and plating and also done a few more mods on the rear suspension for more travel ie. raised the rear turrets 50mm/cut the rear chassis out to allow axle to go further up/raise diff cut out even higher and also putting 2 extra bars in the front a pillers of the cage for the new regulations from custom cages. doesnt rele apply to me as i dont have a s bend in my front legs but im pretty sure it will apply to every body in the near future
and it looks the dogs danglies all the irish seem to be doing it also

Any particular reason you are going for the elite? I only ask because my mum codrives in a Darrian with an XE and almost every non finish they have isvrelated to the box! I have co driven on 2 events in an escort with an XE and an Eliteband the first time the gear stick fell off and the second time (having travelled all the way to Jersey!) it blew up! They seem to be fast but fragile.
