Little bit more progress , Xmas presents halt progress

After having the cage fitted i toyed with the idea of rubbing no carpet then I changed my mind
Before ...



And after



The carpet didn't fit round the cage



So I did some trimming



Built back up



Just need to save for some door cards after Xmas and the interior is pretty much there

Gave it a polish aswell






Last but not least bought it a jacket

Good decision wth the carpet, ive had stripped out cars with and without and with a carpet is better every time, well worth compromise with the extra weight.

Cars coming along great, be good to see that spoiler painted and fitted, used to love them!

Thanks guys !

Kenny you're 100% right stripped out cars with no carpet are awful rattle and bang like hell. Gus had no carpet and I learnt fast from that this Corsa b needed a carpet.
I'm going to fit some sound deadening behind the door cards aswell and maybe some in the rear under the carpet seeing as there's no seats in the back now so it will be abit louder

Thanks rowey, looks a bit more "put together" with a carpet in imo. If I was to use it for track use alone there would be no carpet
