I spent ages fucking around with the heater controls and stuff to get all the bulbs replaced - a matter of weeks later you pull it all out! I could of saved myself a few hours there!

Looking good little man, glad it's coming along nicely.

Oh yeah, and err, about that text I sent you the other day -

You even said how impressed you were that all the bulbs worked - then you went and done that to the dash!

Or were you saying "unlucky" about the other issue?

2 speakers are already out, and the wheels will be repainted when the engine is in.

Brilliant little project.

I may borrow your idea for the carpet cutting. I didn't want to take all mine out as its not really that heavy and makes a fair bit of difference to the noise.

cage has been tango'd


It aint easy painting a cage when its welded in the car! lol

Just got to refit the front half now paint the floor, work out what to do about the rear quater panels (possible leave them off) and fit the bucket seats + harnesses, find a late tigra skuttle panel and hope my steering wheel turns up soon.

I like the idea of the orange cage, looks really well from the outside. Dash looks unbelievable, get carbon fibre rear quaters.
