RiF's original 7 build with carbon and Kevlar panels

RiFs carbon test car on track.  Testing the bonnet by getting some heat up.  Carbon bonnet and aeroscreen.  Carbon dash and aeroscreen.  Just a pretty picture.  Really not fast enough.  Alternative layout with toggle switches and LEDs.  The first internal panels in Kevlar Carbon.  They call it Chapman Tartan.  Carefully sealed seams between tunnel side and back panel.  Back and side panels in Kevlar Carbon.  Internal side panel neatly riveted.  Underdash panel with SVA trim.  Neatly joined half round to rear panel.  Turret in the boot.  Pedal box cover.  Showing the angle of deflection of the aeroscreen and also how shiny the carbon is. It almost looks translucent.  For Duratec cam cover insert.  The first aeroscreen with the correct deflection angles.  Racetech mirrors and early version of the mount.  Racetech centre mirror riveted in place.  Good visibility, shame about the tatty wall.  The additional reinforcement supplied with an aeroscreen for fitting mirrors.  Fantastic visibility with the convex glass.  Cut out in aeroscreen designed especially for the Racetech centre mirror.  Original aeroscreen mount.  The very first Raceline Duratec engine made with production parts.  Neatly fitted back panel.  Racelines distributor mount and bellhousing   Trial fit of turret. Vertical panel to enclose fuel tank.  Sealing up footwells, the grot traps prior to painting.  The first production of internal panels and carbon dash.  Prior to designing a carbon tunnel top.  Racelines Alpha ecu.  A beautiful exhaust manifold.  Just fits, one of the very first Duratec 7s.  Raceline Duratec with Freestyle pushrod suspension.  Just another shot.  Just another shot.  Must get some silicon pipes and change the colour of the cam cover.  Updated engine bay with carbon vertical scuttle.  Thats better with the yellow silicon pipes.  Pedal box cover changed for an all carbon version.  Only just below the bonnet line.  Heat shield for SVA. Prior to us making a carbon version.  The original Freestyle pushrod front suspension.  Early days of carbon developments.  It needs more carbon.  Pushrod front suspension all hidden under the nose.  The latest Caterham armrest.  Neat and pretty.  Finished boot with back panel sealed to chassis.  Fitted turret.  Nude - showing the pushrods.  No messy springs and shock absorbers.  Carbon rear light block and lens assembly.  Finished and just passed SVA.  RiFs original 7 build with carbon and Kevlar panels  RiFs original 7 build with carbon and Kevlar panels  Kevlar Carbon rear panel.  Carbon Kevlar stone protector.  Finished boot.  Finished interior side.
