Removed the std seat rails in preparation for the box section to be put in for the buckets, I was using a 12" disk grinder so contorl wasn't all there, but it didn't take long, ears are still ringing now, managed ot go through to the outside world on the first on, so need to patch that when I put the rails in.

Also popped to the scrappy this morning, and bought the plastic chin spoiler from the std run of the mill corsa B's to add a bit of depth to the nouva bumper, used a 3mm bit in the drill and was able to carve the slit needed using that and got it all in, needed to trim 1/2" off each end to make it fit neatly.

Yeah it's a track car being made, although might take it futher and compete with it eventually. the riveted plate was a cheap option to remove the sunroof, I'll probabaly get a non-sunroof skin or a GRP one eventually for it, got other things to blow my money on right now, like wheels and brakes for it.

Lookign at it sat in the seat, think I'll get a shallow dished wheel, but thr steering column need to come in abotu 1" and down abotu 2"

I'm going to get a corsa UJ as the nova rubber one is a bit free

I'm dumping the wilwoods in favour of some AP racing jobs on 280mm rotors and bells for the front, as i got offered some at a price I couldn't say no to.
