Painted it yesterday on the drive as the sun was shining.

Great work and a major project.

The shell in primer with the bonnet is 39kg, door with hinges, latch and perspex is about 3.5 kg. 

So with paint, screen, rear window, both doors and a bit more here and there on the inner flanges its gona be about 60 kg as the old one was about 120 kg. I think I've used a fair bit more carbon than I needed, but wanted a strong job.

Made some progress over the last few months, the shell is now in primer, I've made all the door parts, N/S door is fitted and the perspex window is fitted, O/S door is together, but still needs hinges and window fitting. Hope to spray the top coat on the shell next week and get the O/S door finished.

Another great project!

Plan well ahead, I started this last September, loads and loads of work, I'm not fazed by much, but just making the pattern alone, then the mould blar blar has been a right slog. Still loads to do, but getting there.

awesome result! Ive got plans to make an endurance racing kitten in the future

Nearly there, had some major help along the way from Warren & Chris which has been invaluable for the project. Had it out of the mould and replaced it back for some remedial work including adding some strength to weaker areas along with fabricating the rear inner arches and shell to chassis flanges. The part is a bit rough, but as I always intended to paint it it's not a great problem. While I'm on here, does anybody know of a light weight body filler that's flexible and works well with carbon and can be painted?

Hi Craig, the bonnet in the picture ended up as scrap, (no vac pump) but Warren has kindly leant me his pump so I managed to re make it. Passenger door is 2 layers of 200g carbon, drivers door is 3 layers of 200g carbon, very flexi, but when I get the inner door's made it will ad a lot of rigidity. Bonnet is 2 layers of 200g carbon with 3mm closed cell foam, but where there is no foam I added an extra 2 layers of 200g carbon, it's very strong and amassing how much strength the foam adds. All done with epoxy resin. Cheers
