Well aside from rolling some fenders I had not done any bodywork in about 15 years, this weekend I had to tackle making a pair of covers to replace the headlights. The rules require the OE light assemblies are replaced with piece of an alternative material, likely a rule based on the very old British cars that we will be racing against that have glass lights.

So I picked up some fiberglass materials and used the old lights as a mold. Everything went very smooth.

Just got our tires in today, waiting on these has held up the fender work to the point I am not sure we will make this weekend. Anyone try to fit a 10.4" wide slick on a Yaris yet?

Well I am sitting at the office waiting for parts to be delivered, when I should be at the track getting ready for practice.

Things are not looking good for a race this weekend. But, while I have been here we set up a test day in mid Feb. This will help prevent the trial by fire, which we would have experienced by racing the car this weekend.

I was not thrilled by the idea of the cars first outing being a National Club Race. The more I work on the car the more frightening it is. The twist and tape wiring I found early on was only the tip of the iceberg. Last night I found the top mounting bolt on the left front strut was finger tight.

Looks like we have all the shock dimensions nailed down, and with any luck we should see them in about six weeks.

I got a wide version (they were out of normal). I love it. Same gripe as you: sound! Now, if I can only remember to mount/use it at the autocross events! Same with my MaxQData. ugh.

shucks. I cleared my Saturday. Sunday, well, that was already clear :)
Sorry to hear about this weekend, and your iceberg.

YIKES. Six weeks? Where's the smiley that passes out?
