stunning matey, cant wait to see it next year
This really is an amazing car! credit to your skills/time/patience with this project.
Cheers for comments guys! It seems the photoshop is now catching up!! Indeed it would look as you've said above Adam. To be honest at this moment in time I think Standard look is where its at for me. Its what made me like the car to begin with. Plus I dont want to go down the same road/same ideas that I used on the last car really. I want to try be a little different If I can. :)Quote:

Great work as ever.

Rear half back in with bolts loosely in holes.....

Then in went the front half and the door bars temporarily until seats went back in etc........

I also came across a few bolt holes under the seats which looked like they were from previous buckets etc. So I got hold of some tiny neat rubber bungs to fill these up.......

With the majority of the cage back in I then removed the door bars to get the seats/harnesses back in.......

And here's how it looks from the rear.......

Im currently having some transparent decals made up which will cover both door bars to avoid these getting scratched in the future. Similar idea to how quite a few motor manufacturers place around sill/wheelarch areas to prevent chipping etc. I thought these would look a lot simpler than large amounts of cage padding. Once theyve been made up I can stick them in position and get the door bars back in. But the cage is now 95% finished and Im really pleased with how it looks. Much more subtle than the red Im sure you'll agree. :) On another note I recently purchased myself another daily runner from James *(Count vaux) This was mainly due to the missus needing her car more on a daily basis and the fact I could get bugger all in it when I needed to!! (Streetka) I thought it would come in handy for collecting/ferrying nova parts etc if nothing else. Check out the Cav/calibra turbo rims lol

I thought Id treat it to an uber slam and bought some 60/70mm springs from Adam but Id didnt have chance to fit them before Id had an offer I couldnt refuse...............
