Hi there Liam,

I have an aero screen that I made for rego purposes, In the NT the definition of an aero screen is one that when seated in the drivers seat you are looking over the top of it.
I think some States class it by its height.
Here is a pic of my car last Monday (when I started preparing for engineers report).


And here it is by Tuesday or Wednesday night with aero screen in place.


And here it is at the 2008 Nationals with mirrors in place.


This aero acreen mounts from the full size screen mounts and allows me to fit the side mirrors to the uprights, giving me a good view over the rear wheel arch humps.
And because it is only perspex, I have built a curve into it and fitted a rubber seal along lower edge, so the screen follows the same arc as the full size screen

I will then get the steering sorted and I plan to buy the engine and gearbox with my tax return in July. Hopefully will be ready for rego early to mid 2011.

I am doing the body and interior myself, so if i find myself with spare time whilst saving for parts i may get some of this done.

What did you do for a windscreen for rego? Just perspex? If there is no windsceen then you dont need wipers, or demister correct? Sounds interesting, i read somewhere some others did the same.

Liam
