Academy Car - Day Seven - Pickup(s)!

The Academy Car's paint job is finished!  And I couldn't be happier with the colours... The finish Dave has achieved is quite frankly amazing, you can hardly feel any paint lines where the stripes are, and it's so glossy.

The R500 has been on the receiving end of some geometry work and was ready for collection today - so now I have two Caterham's in my garage!  I would've laughed at the thought of ever owning TWO Caterhams a year or so ago, but hey - the cars are genuinely THAT GOOD to drive, so why not?!? 😊

The rear wings are still a work in progress, but they should be ready for collection tomorrow, along with the powder coated parts, and then I can start building!

The final thing before I push on with the build, is, Paint Protection Film... I've managed to twist the arm of the guys at signsuk.co.uk to come and fit some Hexis paint protection film on the sides of the car tomorrow morning.

So the plan is to get up nice and early, collect the powder coated parts, get the sides protected, collect the rear wings, and crack on... Hoping to have the front end suspension all fitted tomorrow evening all being well...
