modifying the race car

my planing sheet
what is it?  
whos working on it?
things we have worked on boot exhaust bumpers  fuel tank set up fuel surge lines wastegate piping 
 what ive learnt? 
what it will look like when finish  


Over my lockdown period I have been helping modify my uncle's race car. It is a  Nissan 180SX.
That he has owned for 14 years. It has been raced at Ruapuna, Levels and Teretonga raceways 
The reason why my Uncle decided to strip it down as it required a update and some modifications.
My uncle, my dad, and myself. 


we have worked on the boot we have taken the  old fuel tank And taking the fuel surge lines out
We have also cut a bigger hole in the boot and put bars of metal in as reinforcement
And we have taken the exhaust app and modified exhaust and put the exhaust back
in by building a new exhaust system I painted in the back of the boot where
all the visor metal have been put and around that area to protect it from rust and we have also made a
new fuel tank holder to hold the new fuel tank. 


We have also work  on the front and rear bumper will the front bumper we have put a few small bits
of aluminium and then bent them to help the bumper not to flex as much so when we 
put in the grated bit of metal to stop all the bugs and debris from flying in will make it easier 
and with the rear bumper we have cut it down a bit so ill make it look better. 


 I will finish this tomorrow
