Well, it has been a while since my last entry. The body work has taken hell of a lot longer than originally anticipated. But i must say I am very happy with the final out come. Give us your thoughts.
As well as taking far to long to make the plugs and molds it is by far the most expencive part of the project.
I have comenced dismantling the vehicle, geting it ready for Black powder coat.

Body work 2
I finely got back to working on the car, for while it felt like I had abandoned the project. Let me reassure you, that while I am able, that will never happen. I am now more determined than ever to finish the car. I can virtually feel the wind through me hair (the little i have left), dreaming of cause.
I have been working on the bonnet and nose cone, and am now ready to putty it up and prepare it for the mould.

Holidays
Over the past few weeks I have had a lot of inquires regarding the progress of my car. Between my work commitments and a short holiday break, the car was forced to take a back seat.
However, the work is now done, the holidays are over, and I will be going flat out on the body work.
So please call again.

Engineers test drive
Today was a day to remember, not that the past 512 days were any less important, but today we had our official test drive.
The Goolwa aerodrome served as our test track.
We performed our braking, steering and handling tests, all passed with flying colours. The handling of the car was absolutely perfect. All that time on the computer, desiging the chassis and suspension has paid off.
I tried taking a video clip of the day, but it seems i was fliming the grass most of the time and when i did manage to film the car, it was to small to see. I will definitely inprove my video skills before we set out on our next drive (soon I hope).
