Loads more I haven't mentioned but look at the pics for some of the other parts fitted e.g. lightweight bonnet, doors, tailgate, carbon roof vent etc.

Selling because I've decide to race in a different category.

The car has just been completed and had one shakedown.
It then went to Wolf Motorsport @ Brands Hatch for a full suspension set up and corner weighting (for an 80kg driver).
It is now completely ready to race.
Nothing left to do but add fuel.

Your chance to swoop in and buy a great car for a fraction of the build cost.
