Richard got busy with the angle-grinder this weekend and cut out the webbing from the Supercharger's new engine lid and from the boot. The engine lid is now lighter than the original one and doesn't have that air-scoop that proved impractical. It still needs holes to be drilled for the bonnet pins to be fitted. The boot lid requires further work to plug some holes and to have a high-level rear spoiler fitted.

Plenty of other work is still required to get the car to a state where it can be used for a shakedown and meet and greet with other Nippon Challenge competitors at Silverstone on Sunday 16th March. A closer deadline is giving more impetus to get things done!
