Unfortunately no saving the paint on the nose. Back to metal with some colour matching to come.

Great work.

Cant wait to see the red9 front and rear ends!

With 100hp of air cooled power in the back, retractable front seat belts are a must!

Red9 front and rear pics including disc brake set up. Will get some more off Steve in the next few days.

That looks awesome. Cant wait to see more pics,

Would love to see and hear more about that, Im doing the same to mine.

I'm really keen to see how low you can go, tell Steve & Barry to wind it all the way down

Hi, been a little while since some photos. With Al in the US, the team are a man down and Steve has been on the tools but down loaded a few pics with lots more to come. I'm heading down Saturday to check it out and trial fit wheels so will have more shots.

I will get some more of the Red9 and the wilwood clutch set up. I'll ask the question about lowering and see just how low you can go....

A few shots of the newly painted engine bay thanks to Baz which i reckon looks tops.

Looking good for Valla and some more photos soon.
