My thoughts exactly!! I will await the calls.

80hp a little bit light, just had it on the rolling road at 450 without the nitrous

You are getting good with photo effects aren't you Nick!

We got the moulds for the internal panels on the A352 started today. All of the joins between the individual parts were filled and the tech screws that were used for fixing were capped with mirror screw covers so they will echo the rivet detail on the exterior of the car. The moulds are split into 3 parts and will go along way towards a total replacement GRP tub option that will be offered alongside the retention of the steel Spitfire tub option.

Gelcoat and paste applied.




Matting applied with reinforcing bar to stop flexing of the rear panel.




We are planning to produce a finished set of new internal and external panels over the next week or so, along with the acrylic and steel hinges, to have a complete A352 kit package ready for the first customer to pick up. Not too bad when we only started on the 15th October!

Interior moulds taken off the car, just need a trim around the edges and remove all the black paint/pva.



Bonnet No.1 out of the mould

The buck that the boot lid mould was taken from was a bit fragile and didn't make it out of the mould in very good condition, we could have lashed it up for the trip tomorrow but decided it was just as quick to lay up a new one...



Fits quite well, even when fitted in a hurry this afternoon.



Trimmed the unfinished head fairing to match the profile of the rear arch. Much better fit.



It now sits bang on the centre line of the driver seat





Tried a set of cheap Europa 3 ear spinners on the TR6 wheels. Very pleased!
