Joe's birthday today, he came down around lunchtime looking very frayed around the edges after being out on the town last night ! no sympathy at all. Dad has never done these things obviously !!
We had come up with a plan to get carbon on the rear wheelarches which didn't involve taking a mortgage for the German carbon panels, nor settling for the dummy ones. Joe applied clear stoneguard to the arches first to cover most of the curved areas and then having bought flexible carbon panel cut the panel to suit and applied it over the stoneguard. The look is more what we wanted without breaking the bank and should be effective and replaceable if need be !. We also fitted the headlight carriers and fairings to the bonnet which having used some tiger seal we have to leave overnight before we can finally put the bonnet on. I still have no steering parts so will have to struggle with the bonnet in place or delay further. Getting ever closer. 4 hours today so 225 hours total.
