I know I haven't updated much as it's all been loads of small fiddly bits, brackets, mods, etc - I've even modified the internals of some of the switchgear - but she's firing back up this weekend boys and girls!

Everything's going back together, it almost looks professional! Almost.
We're going to pick and choose what we go to this year as some of the series have a bit of a naff calender, but we're hoping to get to an event at Crickhowell in May.
There's quite a lot that aren't a massive trip from Bristol this year, first event is at Walters Arena on the 18th, and they're racing at Minehead, Ilfracombe. Tiverton and Bagshot as well

New mudguard mounts for the front, a lot tidier, looses the steel front tube, saves a kilo or two:
Made some custom sized balljoint boots to use to seal the trailing arm bearings, in polyurethane:
And started on some new door/window frames as the old ones were pretty battered/bent and the polycarb is scratched to hell now. Also made new side panels because, well, everything else was shiny, They weren't.
And finally, shiny lights, everyone likes shiny lights:
