Looks very nice, lets just hope the SVA bloke knows a work of art when he sees one!
Good luck.

Pretty good for only 7 posts on here!!!!
I have this theory that the less time you spend on here writing about 7's the faster the car gets built

Looks good,

good luck with SVA

Full Car Picture
Although I've had no real problems with the bodywork in respect of it's fitment, as many of you have pointed out it is not symetrical.
Saying that though, It is very difficult to get in a position where you can see enough of both rear wings for it to be that much of a problem? (in my
humble opinion).
Cheers!
Andy Bause.

Another PIC
Hi all,
Ned, When do you meet at newlands corner? I am in Crawley, West Sussex and I organise the Southern Tiger Owners Club (SATOC). Newlands has been put
forward as a new venue for a Sunday lunchtime meet? let me know?
I am told by QED that power with current fuel map should be around 175 - 180bhp.
Front cycle wings are Tiger items. Exhaust manifold courtesy of Westfield, and rear lights ESP Plastics (they make them for westfield).
You wanted more pictures so here's another.
Cheers!

PS. Number plate just for fitting purposes!

Did you strengthen the steering rack mounts as mine failed SVA on this?
Also, did you leave the brake bias de-celeration valve horizontal?
Cheers,
Pat...

Andrew,
We normally meet at either newlands corner or boxhill on the first sunday of the month, from 9.30/10am - 12/1ish. Check out the clubs and events
sectio and look out for wlm (west london mafia) southern sevens and newlands/boxhill threads.
There are several cars near you; hicost, stevem, john biddle and jim's r1 phoenix, shortie are all between gatwick/horsham (ish!) and my car is
being built jsut the other side of billingshurst from you..
I'm also using the xe engine, just ordered my engine rebuild bits, not cheap (all genuine vx bits so far) I honed my engine the other night, got
a block to paint soon, then hopefully it'll start coming together a bit quicker..
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin
