Quite an interesting update today..

Some will like my inovation, some will think im stupid! But hey, lifting and lowering the shell like we did seemed to work perfectly! Nothing was bent out of line or warped.. happy days. 

Got to play around with some alignment issues on the front subframe where it bolts to the front of the race frame, then I can start making all my other alignment checks and get the frame bolted down! I suppose i could go on for ages about what Ive got to do next... but today was surprisingly easy really. I had to do a little bit of angle grinding on the shell (not the cage dont worry) but other than that just a couple of tiny scratches she seems to sit nicely. 

Im having to re-think the mini miglia carbon arches I have as well, so any suggestions for new arches could come in handy. Tomorrow I might have a go at welding in the seat frames.
