Very, very happy with how the car is starting to come together. Spoiler is now on amongst other things.
 

Flares mostly fitted. Brake calipers should be off getting reco'd and coated and some new goodies showed up from Summit this week (electrical connectors, coil, leads, battery isolator switch). Exhaust pipes should also be underway.
 

Coming along great mate looks tough with the quads keep up the good work it will pay off in the end. How soon before it goes into the shop to get painted?

Are those flares based on the RS3100 guards?
 
Where do you get them? A mate of mine would be keen on a set for his new track car.

Yes RS3100. I purchased them from Smith and Deakin in the UK as recommended by gtv6capri. They were fairly cheap and seem to be pretty good quality. The postage was more than the flares.

Flares were 35 pound and the shipping was 53. They arrived in Australia in less than a week.

Flares fitted. Not 100% but will do for now. Will be made yellow soonish to fit in with the rest. Was surprised how big the flares are in person.
No news on anything else atm :(
 

Thanks Mate
 
Looks good

These arrived at the RTA ... now I need somewhere to bolt them to.
 

Car is now home. Still lots to do. Spent some time yesterday vacuuming the carpets and seats and fitting some of it up. I had previously trimmed down the instrument cluster to clear the roll cage but I haven't quite done enough so that needs some more work. Had a few concerning moments when I didnt think the dash would go in. I had trimmed that down and fitted it and was happy with how it went in the car around the cage. Then the windscreen was fitted.... eventually it went in but will have to be cut a little more down the track when the interior is eventually painted.
For some time I have pondered over the best location for the tacho. I like where it is in the pictures but dont feel that masking tape will cut the mustard long term. It's just nice having the thing home and being able to try things and see if it looks good or will even work.
Brakes are off being coated and handbrake cables being remanufactured and Garry ran the brake lines prior to the car coming home so that's mostly the brakes done.

 

 

coming along really well, keep up the awesome work
