The floor around the fuel cell will be 3mm aluminium with the twin bosch 044 pumps underneath and the filters mounted on top so all that will be seen will be the tank and filters, and hopefully that will help keep the noise down too

Id like to do 10s fairly early on and eventually down into the 9's. I dont think 9s will be an issue, but if we can make more power and get it down with the small tyres and the chassis doesnt turn itself inside out who knows might even see 8s? :dance: Obviously its goin to be a big learning curve and what it does is what it does. Aiming for around 450-500 kw @ the wheels and a weight of under 1000kg so somthings gotta happen! :mrgreen: :burnout:

the black is just etch primer but all the rust and major imperfections have been removed, the front clip has just been sat on the car to take up less space in the shed and given a quick coat so it doesn't look as random :roll: so just got the last few little bits to do then the car is etch primed :thumbsup:
