F1 28" Modify & rebuild

[F1 madness]

Was previously running an old upgraded dolphin outboard but it was on the limit with the brushless motor i was running,so i ordered an REK last wk and it finnally arrived yesterday.
This is what i gotta do fill the holes from the previous outboard and drill new holes for this 1,make new servo mount and ESC mount as this runs 6s lipo,2 x 3s packs but thinking of changing motor and running 4s, got a couple of small repairs to do and glass cloth the pod floor also and repaint it.
