Yep that was my logic too even in summer when it rains she soon mists up and does ya head in wiping it with the back of ya hand especially when your strapped in and can't reach it

heater

1st time looked at this. Top idea with the heater box may even pinch your method as I'm not happy with what I've done on my tunnel and may redo. Keep the young fella interested in the real thing rather than computer games.
All the best Jock

Here's some just for you Alan ! The heater wouldn't fit back in and was about 2inch too tall and after not having a heater in my last one! I was sure as he'll having one this time ?
I cut the complete bottom section of the box off and removed the heat direction flap and made a alloy lid for it ! leaving me with hot air up or cold air thru the eyeball vents but no down position option which I can live without

Nice to know Paul. I wasn't going to fit a heater, but the price of a heated screen is about £250 So it may be heater time again

Heater

Sorry bit of a slow thinker should have put this in my last post.
Another option if you just want screen heat is to use is a 12v hair dryer.
I'm finishing off another project with one installed and I'll try and put photos in.
If they appear white h\dryer the handle was modified to a simple bracket also you will see a 12v heater that will supply cabin heat

Well got one inner cut out and the new one in. Used the magnum inner wings and it fits like a glove only thing if they were on a concourse car they have quite a few extra stage marks which would need to be removed but for mine there excellent




On the other side next then

[petrolhead]

Looking good Paul big stage achieved once you get the other side in!
Keep plugging & remember there's no substitute for BOOST!!

[paul mex]

Cheers Chris metal would be a good substitute for Boost at the moment

Hows it going Paul

Keep doing a bit when I find time Had a good chat with Billy x-pack at the lakes (cheers mate) I decided to go with the Airtec rad/intercooler and a lovely bit of kit it looks too.
Got the other inner wing in and then opened up the front to get the rads to fit.
I'm thinking of making the slam panel removable and bolting it in! As there's not much room between the front pully and the fans ? Any advice welcome

Hi Paul,
Nice to meet up with you and Tom at the Lakes Tour. The Car is looking good. I would recommend you make that slam panel bolt in, with the fans fitted you will struggle for space. see you at croft.
