I follow this, but don’t comment for the simple fact I’m lost for words the amount of thought and technicality that has gone into the car so far.

Hats off to you Damien.

Although I do remember a conversation we had when you were asking about an axle. I’d say things have slightly spiralled out of control 😆😆

Rear end finished ...old exhaust cutout filled sprayed and lacquered because it has a centre exhaust now....

Tony Palfrey of Maxi motorsport 205 Carbon front wheel arches put on the rear of my 306 ....fits perfectly Thumbs up

That’s the rear End finished....
Just drivers side Carbon/Kevlar wing to modify bond and trial fit ...passenger side all finished

In the picture below I’ve cut 3-4 inches of standard wing away which pictures are in earlier posts and then welded a 50mm lip around the arch with 30mm outside supporting the Carbon arch and 20mm inside keeping the old cutaway plastic wheel arch wheel liner in place

It looks much better than in the picture LOL
The car looks high but it’s not and the wheels are 17inch with 215/45/17 DZO3GS

Moneys been really tight and I’ve neglected the car for a few months..
I’ve not been on here for a couple of months either due to my 18yr old Son flying off to America for College for the next 4 years ..it’s been a crazy busy time at my house !

That aside ....from tonight I’m back finishing off bits including the front drivers side wing etc ....

Hopefully post some pics later

Some pics and small updates ...hopefully on my way to finishing before End of November...

Window trial fitted to see if curved is 100% now doors are all lined up ....

P4P are amazing ...no gap anywhere around the Lexan window ...that means the inside bond / bead line will look really smart Thumbs up

Both front windows will be bonded in the same as the front windscreen...the Carbon / kevlar doors have a 15mm lip all around x4 corners ...

Hopefully the pop out scoops will cool the inside down with the roof scoop helping and the warm air exits out both rear bonded quarter glasses with the opening round vents ?

This is the alloy plate bent and formed then bonded on to fix to the inside edge of the drivers WING = door inside By hinge side ...this process is the same as was done on the passenger side .....it makes it so stiff and secure...better than original even ..

I’m going to bond a little alloy L shape /alloy lip around the arch edge to the Composite to help stop flapping and flexing at super high speed ....I did similar to my bonnet that was lifting slightly....better to do it before arches are sprayed Thumbs up
