Now that the spoke wheels are fitted i decide to start to try and ballance the body. I decided to start with the offside rear wing, the pictures tell the full story as to how far the body is out.

You can also see the rear valance dips on the nearside which will require some work.

I took various measurements across the back of the body and finally came to the conclusion of how much and where to make the cut.
Another area i think will require work is the nearside rear arch, the first image shows the leading edge standing slightly prouder than the offside so i may have to cut this area to move the arch in slightly.

These images show the amount i have had to move the wing out over, it certainly looks like more than the other guys have moved their body out over but this was the only way i could get the end result that was symmetrical and balanced.

Well that's it for now, hopefully i will have the rear arch filled tomorrow and may be a bit more body work completed.
