Today we worked some more on the car, luckily this time we made more progress and we didn’t have too much setbacks like last time. At around 10:00 Kel @ Ape garage arrived to start working on the car. But first i forced him to look at my new Motordrive seat, which i collected last week when i was in the UK. Allan & Mel @ Motordrive did a great job making me a custom seat with my own embroidery in the headrest. The seat is made out of a Kevlar / Carbon hybrid material. With an outer layer of Carbon to match the different parts on my car.
Some pictures of the seat (please note it’s not properly fitted yet):

After we Picked up the Clutch @ Jochem we started pre assembling the Engine to be Mounted in the car.
