I need to get some new road tyres on those when funds allow. I already had the 15 inch R888s tyres and the other wheels are 14s so i got the bbs wheels for cheap for track use!

Runs a V belt, Although as I proved with mine they fit in fine without a lot of the time.

Got one seat fitted with the help of my mate after work yesterday.

Really pleased with how it looks and it now feels safe when i go round a corner faster than 10mph lol.
The passanger seat will be going in very soon.

Gave the bumpers a back to blacking as they go grey so quickly, looks better imo.

This weekend should see the roof going back to red again. Also painting the front wings again due to a couple of runs that im not happy with, they wouldnt flat and polish out!

Il keep the updates comming as soon as i go

Mark just paint them gloss black. You know it makes sense. And then the wheels gloss black to match!

Bumpers are staying textured im afraid graeme.
I like the look of the texture and im trying not to be too anal about this car like i was with the corsa. Altough i do like to have a clean car lol!

Robin,I agree about the steering wheel but its staying for now untill i have some spare cash to get a new one!

This weekend i gave the roof a few coats of red to cover up the black roof. Looks much better now imo!
Also repainted the front wings while i was at it because of a few bits i wasnt happy with. Didnt get any progress pics while painting because i was too busy!

Also ripped the roof lining out to save more weight!

Next week should see my other bucket seat in

Some pictures after id cleaned the car up.
