And a simple image of the cars state after the 2023 Challenge. Time to get back on this now that there is room...

You really should paint a Union Jack to match the weld seams. This is so cool.

It was white and red along the seams until I redid the hood. Kinda a reverse English flag (not the uk flag).

St Georges cross.

Hood is off and getting panel work today. Lots of hammer and dolly work, with a little welding and grinding.

Thanks. I may have to actually go hammer some more this evening with a cold beverage in hand to relax from a day of staring at numbers in a room with no windows. This car has been my stress relief for a very long time. I had planned to document the whole thing way back when, but now it's all stored in my head, even the small detail in the all white wiring loom...

Beating Monzora is the motivation right?
