Ok so I have resisted doing the tub as its a huge amount of work... Ive made moulds and composite panels for the Front & rear clams, doors and front wings.... I wrapped the roof and window panels on the Tub which looked ok but not perfect and there was clearly no benefit other than cosmetics and it never really sat right with me.... I felt I had left the car unfinished!
So I have striped the car completely, sent the engine for a check over (ready for more power next year) and have been sanding the tub ready to start making the moulds.
Im not going to rush this project and I will need to make an oven to properly post cure it... Im also overseas with work around 5 weeks over the next few months so progress will be slow... but i will try to update this thread with picks to show process/progress.
roof is carbon wrapped with a v weave... its not perfect and didn't save weight.
