just a quick update, driver seat know fitted had loads of fun making crossmember with more holes drilled for lightweight.
Tomorrow just need to finish passanger side, oh spent 2-3 hours scrapping off all the unwanted seam sealer, now before you all say don't do it, it was only the access, not what was in the seams, see its all about weight loss

piccys to follow

small update today, my mate Carl came round yesterday and attacked the wiring loom, Carl said he was helping to make the shortie lighter
(less wieght ,more speed..... for free) Carl and Harry the dog spent about an hour stripping out unwanted wiring, wipers washers, heated rear window ect

mean while, i filled in a few more holes under the bonnet and modified the bulkhead (more room for the carb)
in time for a tester pot of paint
