Simon31 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) As some of you may or may not no but i am upgrading to F2 next season,i was lucky enough to get a HCD car which was an ex 676 Neil Hooper car which he sold to 891 Darren Wade and i now me , so ive took some pics of what were doing to it, just to freshen it up for the 2009 season, heres were we are at the moment still a fair bit to do yet! Car when i boght it Car all striped and chassis painited, we had to higher the roof as i was to tall for it, looks a bit odd there but is fine with the fin on. Edited November 26, 2008 by Si_231
