Many thanks for your very kind comments Mark and Roy, greatly appreciated as always!

Hoping to post another update later today, albeit a small one, as I now have the rear suspension and brakes fitted.

Just a small update on my continued progress with this build!


The rear suspension and brakes have now been fitted:




















I have also painted the rear wheel-arches and added three small carbon decals to each as they form the outer edges of the rear diffuser when it is fitted later:






They were then fitted to the rear chassis/engine bay:










That's all for this update. I had intended to fit the diffuser and a couple of undertrays to the chassis at this point but luckily I checked the instructions before doing so and discovered that it would have been out of sequence! Once glued permanently in place, they would have meant that I wouldn't be able to fit the body over the chassis, so they will now be left off until the end of the build, just to be sure.

Making a start on the final few stages next which will be the interior (including quite a few more small carbon decals) and painting and decaling the wheels/tyres. It's been a very long journey, but I'm getting ever closer to a finish with this one!!

Thanks for looking, all comments and criticisms welcomed.
