Is bodywork going to be a 7-alike?

Looks like some really trick bits going in there, keep us updated

[kriss]

Yeah, its a Lotus 7 replica, just a tad quicker than most lol!

Pro Tec adjustable coilovers went on today.

(Pics show some steel blank bars to mock up the chassis)

Cheers

This looks and sounds amazing

Good choice of colour too, really different.

Keep us updated

[Dr G]

Intended for use in a particular series?

[marlinmunro]

Do you know yours eyes are red

[Cabana]

That's an unusual choice of colour but it works really well! It looks as if the car's being finished to a very high standard, bet you can't wait to get it completed.

[kriss]

Yeah its a one off Gelcoat finish and is very against the grain for th Caterham 7esque scene as it is.

I intend to track it but no race series or anything that involved. Dont want to hurt her at all lol.

Quality of the workman ship thus far is fantastic.

My SVA is booked for mid April now so finger crossed its at a pistonheads meet near you soon lol

[jezrider]

good work mate

loving your colour choice, too many 7alikes are the standard yellow or blue etc,
dare to be different !

[kriss]

All about these more subtle colours this year I think. Greys, whites, even browns and bronzes.

Good news, SVA date booked and confirmed for the 16th April(2008!)
