lol, she aint my girlfriend, she is a friend of mine from the local race car club, she is better at building cars than 99% of the guys in the club! lol
I'm married, and have a very understanding wife, my garage is about 15 miles from my house, I work all day, then go to the garage till late working on the cars.

Yeah Hannah is quite a pro at fibreglassing, she can make body panels that are thin, but take some serious abuse. :dance:

Roll cage looking good and rear arches widened for wider wheels and more suspension travel. Once the arches have been completed, we will take molds of them and cast fibreglass items. The metal arches will then be cut off and binned. A lot of work, but worth it. While the arches were off, we also cut some inner skins out This has got to be the lightest boxster ever

Nice work...are producing a rear deck lid in carbon Kevlar? Perhaps one that could be a direct replacement for a stock one? Maybe a clam shell too?

yep yep, Hannah made a rear boot lid in carbon Kevlar, its only single skinned though, as it will be dzus clipped to the car.
we can produce them to sell, but only in single skin form, we have too many molds laying around as it is,

We will be making the clam shell, and doors in carbon Kevlar (also that one piece front end too)
the rear wings, although they are wider, can be trimmed down to suite standard width cars too. If you notice I have also cut more out of the arch, for more wheel travel... i'll be doing the same to the front too.

We have had a change in thought about the engine too. looks like we will be going for a 2.7 bi-turbo Audi V6
