The build begins.

Well the rebuild of Annette's car has begun, for those that do not know the old car was junked at Krikke Boys this year when Annette chose the wall over hitting Gavin's car, the chassis had about 20 bends in it and while like all things it could have been repaired, it was old and fatigued so to the scrap bin it went.

We picked up a good deal from Hainsy on one of his JJ special Maxims and GKR got it across to WA for us.
These cars are unique in that they have similar mods to a Kinser Maxim but some subtle differences as well, this has me inspired to get it together so I can have a run, because we all know Maxim's are the "Old Mans Car", a lounge chair on wheels they tell me, and my first car was like that, very easy to drive and not so critical on the set up, as opposed to my J & J which you have to be on all the time or it will dump you quick as.
So we have had a dummy set up to see the fit in the car, man JJ is a small dude, we fit but to make it comfy we will get Murph the magician to push the A frame back and lift the seat height by 30mm.
So I have spent about 6 hours since Friday removing the vinyl wrap frrom the panels, never never try removing wrap from aluminium panels, what a chore, but persist we did and now we are done.
The aluminium is off to get repaired and as the fibreglass is so thin we will get the fibreglass panels reinforced to withstand the abuse Annette seems to give her cars.
Once the chassis is modified the frame and panels will go to Transcoat who do a great job of powdercoating.
So for me, I guess I can get car 56 ready for the sponsors day, looking forward to seeing just how fast this beast is.
I will start posting photos of the mission and keep you all up to date with the happenings in the cave, need something to stop the off season boredom.
