New pieces introduced, front body brackets. The fastening to front beam goes through these brackets. It's a weak point in split body, the design changed for zwitter/oval.

Not actually sheet metal parts, but put them here anyway.

Jacking points. They have some issues left, but I'm very confident to get them ready within next weeks.

Here the first prototypes.
