I try not lean over. The car is being built on a 2 poster so easy to lift to right height and work at shoulder level inside the engine bay or wheel well. The body is super rigid, far stronger than I imagined and 1.6mm thick ,no concerns for driving it on the road at all or even leaning or sitting on it.

Hi Chris, the body is attached to CF support structures and they bolt to the chassis. This makes the alloy body completely removable like all the fibreglass body cars can.

They go together so well, such a pleasure to work on compared to the old days of kit building.
Cheers

one of the reasons i went for the pace . last build spent 12 months finding and buying all the jag bit's i needed.
pre internet days then the next 12 months cleaning reconditioning painting ect then started putting it together .
having almost everything needed come with the car just like flatpack is a great idea and pace need to be congratulated . i vowed and declared i would never build another kit car after the last one . but after not been able to find what i wanted this was the best option for me .
cheers deano
