	Love the Davrian. I would be sick starting with that shed, but I bet you make it spectacular. I prefer the front end without the cut outs for the indicators and fog lights. I like smooth, I guess. How about small motorcycle indicators (or something) actually inside the plexi headlight covers, sat in front of the headlights. Would that be legal? -Steve

	The Davrian looks awesome and the F40 looks just as good. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread!

	Hi all, Bit more progess on the Davrian today, i have been sanding off all the paint and filler on the rear of the cab so i can sort the returns for th rear end. The passenger side had lots of layers of paint and a fair thickness of filler. I plan to remover all filler from the car so i can do all the repairs properly, then i will probably etch prime the shell so i can see how it looks, then i'll start with the filler work. I now have the standard road rear end attatched and ligned up as square as you can on a Davrian. I used a piece of inch bar through both trailing arms so i could get both wheel arches lined up. I then taped up the joins and painted some gel on, hoping to get the retunrs layed up later. You cant see the returns in the picsture so it will make more sense once i take the back back off! but you can see it is all better aligned than in the previous pictures...... Comments always appreciated Cheers

	I'd get a few of those badges made up, I can see them being a great seller for other Davrian owners and even if it just puts money into the tea/coffee fund, then it's worthwhile IMO.

	If I understand what I read, the Davrian shell and body parts you have will be a plug for you to make molds and make your another shell and panels? Just so I'm following along ... :^) -Steve

It does look spot on, it's nice to see a rep that is the right length, look forward to seeing it complete

	What a great thread. The F40 is going to change my entire perception on the world of kit cars - although in fairnesss its not a kit really is it! (I have a real dislike for Fiero / MR2 imitators, that are completely out of proportion). From the pics it looks bang on. Did I read correctly that you have the original Ferrari molds?? How the hell did that happen - surely they would have destroyed the originals to ensure that they were not recreated... Anyway, you're a brave pair you and your dad so all the best. I love the look of the Davrian already. have a soft spot for those as they were made near where I went to Uni. Also remember seeing one on a local rally which was using a Nissan Primera touring car engine - sounded amazing!

Cheers for the kind comments buddy, Your almost right, the molds we had weren't original from ferrari, they we're made, with permission from ferrari, by a team racing an LM in the 90's with an ex f1 driver. 3 points to who can remember the driver?!....

	Hi all, I finally got round to laying up the returns on the rear of the cab, but i havent yet taken the back off as i thought i would have a go at finishing up the wheel arches while it was in place. I have also started removing the old paint with a chisel and started to give it a bit of a rub down. I have also fitted some running gear so i can check that everything lines up properly. As an experiment i layed up a small quick mould off of the rear of the passenger side rear ach. Once it was dry i removed it trimmed it up, then i put it on the front of the drivers rear arch to see how it looked. It looked close enough so i glued the mould in place then gel'd and layed it up from the back. A bit of cooking with the hair dryer and i was able to take the mould off to see how it looked.......... Comments always appreciated Cheers
