colin, try any local sign shops too, this stuff is used on cheap signs, as backing, it is twin wall corrugated plastic, you can bend it one way really easily.. also packaging companies do it.

Ah I know the stuff you mean, what estate agents use to make for sale signs etc.Originally Posted by mowgli
thats the badger...
Of course, the moment you mentioned signs being made out of it, it dawned on me as to what material we are talking about.
I remember the drunken procurement of various 'For Sale' signs that we used to make into shields for a New Years Eve fancy dress outing as the 'Knights of the Round Table'........

saw this is the flesh on sunday, just wow!! i think i could spend all day looking at it and still not see all the neat little touches
You at Loton park this year Colin?
Not far from me so if your there this year i may pop along for a look.
Yes, I certainly hope to be at Loton. Never been before, but it looks a fantastic venue. Everyone I've spoken to who's driven there loves it.

I'll try and do a photo update tomorrow.
The doors are now painted and fitted to the car, along with the polycarbonate windows.
The slicks have today been filled with Nitrogen, supposedly it gets up to temperature faster than air, so that's got to be good for hillclimbing/sprints where you have to start with virtually cold tyres.
Having said that, looking at the weather forecast for the weekend I need to sort out some wet weather tyres! I have a set of wheels and wets that go on the rear, but the 13" wheels I normally use on the front of the car in the wet won't go over the Yamaha R1 calipers I now have fitted........annoyingly it is just the bleed nipple that they're fouling on, so it's very close.
Might have to use some 15" wheels and road tyres on the front if it rains lots.
I shall get it weighed tomorrow as well.
Only a few jobs outstanding now;
Fuel tank breather
Infill panels in the boot floor area
Battery straps need fitting
Tidying of wiring
Sealing up any remaining holes in bulkhead/floorpan
Testing the front brakes (needs to stop raining ideally!)
