Well it is fair to say that I have been a little laid back on the car front lately.  Mainly due to the intensity of the end of year push that every teacher experiences in the run up to the GCSE exams and the half Ironman in Staffordshire last weekend.  Well the exams are over and the Ironman completed so the car has slipped back into focus.  I tided up the edges on the bulkhead top panel that I removed last time and sat it back on the car.  I then fitted the shroud and established that I can move it around a little so I bolted the wings on along with the wheels and take it out of the garage to have a god look from a distance.

The shroud sits in a different position now; the lower front edge looks more evenly spaced between the chassis legs and the same is true of the bonnet aperture and the bonnet mounting brackets.  That is all good.  The wheels look better, the nearside still sits further out than the offside  but not by much and I suspect that when I address the shroud it could well take care of that, still all good.  The issue is that the offside wing is now a little too short, not good at all:

The wing is now 1 inch shorter that the shroud

This is going to take some pondering as I don't want to make a whole lot of changes to the wings and then discover that I need to do it all over again at some later stage.  Essentially, the top panel is sitting on the bulkhead at an angle so there are potential issues everywhere I look at from lining up the aluminium cockpit trims that sit on the shrouds and doors to the position of the dash panel.  Fundamentally though it looks healthier so I am happy with the development, I just need to think far and wide on the implications.
