Various bits of cutting and welding to do now, including fitting the new seat rails and fittings for the harness.
There's also some tidying up to do of various bits I cut away previously, and I'm debating whether to weld up all the 'bung' holes in the floorpan. Previously I had covered them with bits of carbon fibre sheet and tape, but it's not very resilient to attack from stones/weather etc. Only problem is the weight of the steel circles I'd have to weld in instead.
Who can remember who it was who made carbon fibre VIN plates for Novas? I quite fancy getting one made up to replicate the '002' chassis plate above!
I've also been tinkering around with the pedal box, fitting an AP 'short' cylinder for the clutch, and I've modified the F1 carbon fibre pedal to be the new clutch pedal;
And the carbon fibre gear lever is basically done now, just needs a metal post to be machined up for the bottom end of it, where it engages into the linkage;
Now there's only one real problem remaining..............what colour do I paint it?
The interior is going to be done in metallic grey (a la BTCC cars), and I think I want the panelwork done a very bright attention getting colour.
All suggestions welcomed, but orange and green are almost certainly off the list as I race against cars done those colours already.
