Looks great mate, love the roll cage!
the rollcage is the one from my grey gte as seen in signature, the car goes loads better now with the spare seat and cage removed and thats only 38kg, cant wait till new car is finished as will be 100kg lighter at least hopefully :lol:

Thats a lot of weight saved mate, must be about 15% or something. Would love to see what mine is now, must take it to weigh bridge. :D

Nice one Dan.... Are you hoping for it to be finished before Trax???
Neil
looking fantastic there dan.
all you need to do now is loose some puppy fat, and the car will be totally light.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
you really are doing this project a credit to all nova drivers out there.
this is a prime example of a dedicated person who has a mission as opposed to some barry boy tosser.

Been a Gypsy and all dan i thought you would know how to strip a car properly, you seem to have left a few bits on it though before you started painting it!
Why did you not just spend a few more minutes removing the pedals, coloum, rack and all the nuts and fittings left in the engine bay?
Looking good apart from that!
Rick
He's not going for a concours car Rick, he just wants to get it done as quickly as possible I think.
Jim
the colour is going to be the same as my gte, rick there are certain things we have left but the work rate is so intensive and the fact come mid-3/4 of way through july cp starts harvest its just a case of get it done asap (remember all the work done has been covered over 6 working days with only 1 person for 2 days and 2 people for the remainding 4. As jim said i'm not one for to much fuss on it as it will get driven properly once finished anyway lol, as you can probably imagine.
