Various bits of chassis here, main rails and pre built bumpers.

One of the chassis laid out on the worksho floor awaiting more work

This is now up on stands, ready for additional metal to be added to it

11/12/05 Work started on the sump guard structure

Which is the traditional shape and not full length

Cage was pre built from a well known stockcar builder

One side bar installed here, with side bracings and bulkhead bar

A side on view of the 'fence side' side bracings

Rollcage completed, just needs sideplates and roofplate. Axles are only on temporarily for now

Seat had first fitting, back firewall to be completed. Front bumper is finished.
Somebody asked when it would be finished, hopefully it will be on show at the Startrax Ovalsport show but it will not be fully finished, but it will definitely be ready for the start of the 2006 season. We will probably try to test it before then at Buxton.

More pics very soon
