you really need to stop posting pics like these - you don't want to be discouraging people like me so early in the build
I guess really it's something to aspire to though

Naaaggghhh! You've woken up my gremlin who whispers in my ear all the time about the dirt and the misaligned holes and the dinks and the
scratches and the .... and the .... 
Must stop drinking coffee too late in the evening - Beautiful build by the way

does your prop have a very short front section or is it one piece?

As above - a very neat and tidy build. It makes me want to start again and do it better!
Just one point - the rear brake hose does look too tight to me.

Very nice work Matt, only thing i could spot that hasnt been mentioned is the adjuster for the rear damper settings, most people have the adjustment
facing the inside so you can adjust it without removing the rear wheels.
I only know this because i fitted the same as you and someone on here kindly pointed it out to me.
HTH Mike
P.S Where did you get that clutch cable??

Thank all for the nice comments. Will turn around the shocks tonight. The rear brake lines look much tighter than than they are! The rear suspension
has not been tightend up untill i get it on the floor so that will give me a little slack when jacked back up again.
Just spent another £50 on stainless allen keyed bolts and nuts to finnish of the rest!!!
The only trouble with a part built is stripping it all back and starting again!!
Plus also i now might change the inner panels for carbon ones if the budget will stick it!! What do you think? Alloy or FAKE carbon?
Hopefully getting my wheels back soon from the powdercoaters, should look cool!!!
Full race cage comming soon as well!
Got some cool paint idea's too!
Do you get the idea of what sort of car im trying to make it look like?
matt
Oh yeh the clutch cable is a mac#1 one and the prop is a modded 2 piece one with TRT from bailey morris.

Never, never fake carbon. Either do it with the proper stuff or don't.
It was awful 5 - 10 years ago on bikes and still looks awful now.
Put it side by side with proper carbon (or carbon kevlar) weave and it looks quite sad.
Just my opinion mind, but it just doesn't look right to me.

Seeing the first pic of yours with the alloy panelling made me decide to panel mine in ally, so i'd say stick with the ally

cracking job, has given me renewed enthusiam and disappointment at my own efforts in equal measure /
If the outside is as well finished as the inside it will be a real head turner!!!

I don't think your speedsensor will work, the metal has to be in close contact to let it work, this is how I mounted mine and tested it to see
it works with the original speedo..
