Evo 7 Sprint Car...is go go go!!!

A few more updates to the car:-

After 2 years of competition there were a few areas on the car requiring some "lovin" Mainly paintwork after my front bumper took some tyre-wall interface, the underside although in good condition wasn't 100% to my liking and the rear floorpan had some "gravel-rash" which had gone through the underseal.

I enlisted the skilled large hands of Big Stu for this task, and to say I'm chuffed is an understatement.

The underside went from black to white with all wheel arches done as well.

Here shown with new Momentum Tubular subframe fitted

H-Tech were trusted to re-do my rear quarter and new front bumper (pics soon) and front panel.

As you will see the doors are missing! No this isn't an extreme way to remove weight. I have a set of GRP doors being sprayed and fitted as we speak.

Other upgrades are the AIM Strada dash install and a few service items that were found to be either broken or worn out.
So, hopefully the car will now handle better and go and stop quicker with less mass.

Will get some pics of it with its new "fancy" front bumper and dash install once I'm back at APT HQ this weekend.

White with a white floorpan...........almost Gobstopper-esque

Looks mighty smart with the Momentum subframe buddy. Hopefully that and your other fixes and tweaks will all make for a more predictable and progressive platform for your uber committed driving style. Really looking forward to seeing this once it's all back together (new doors, bumper and graphics). Are you still on target for your time schedule?

Haha....Gobstopper....ermm...not quite!

I'm fully quite excited about the new upgrades though!
Yes, still on schedule, guys here are now prepping the doors as we speak!

Cheers again for your help and support Stu
