update i have been quite busy doing the car making the last seat mount and welding both the rh mounts onto the cross member, also i have been getting the car ready for the xmas holidays i believe my 6th form breaks up on the 21st december. as during the holidays i will be spraying the inside, the underneath, the boot and the engine bay fully. To then hopefully have the car rolling, i will have on its new subbys and old steel wheels incase the new wheels get damaged. so basically i have been getting the car nice and clean, welded up and seam sealed all for the xmas break. 

 

also have my audio system, i didn't want one but i like music to much especially if I'm out at night with some nice music on, so i have gone for a fli system with a fli trap active 1200 watt bass and amp, 4 fli 180watt speakers and a not too over the top head unit as i don't like the look of 50 purple buttons on the screen of the head unit and so went for something more fitting. this means that the weight saving has gone out of the window slightly as this weighs a fair bit however the weight saving does mean that the roll cage at least has been canceled out however i always have the option to take the audio out of things get serious  ;D

Just awesome. I've got my subframes on now. All I can say is the feeling is incredible, just standing back and saying woohoo! And your car is of a much higher quality than mine so you'll be even happier I bet ;)

been busy this weekend had had to work saturday morning and was out with friends in the evening so i have caught up on the mini today 

 

sorted out all of the floor taking off all of the remaining red oxide i put on as this stuff and my stone-chip spray really react badly. once this was done i sanded down any lumps and bumps and then sprayed over any bare metal with some rattle can primer ready for stone chip.

 

only managed to get the whole rhs floor done and the rhs underwing, also managed to spray all of the boot floor and arches before i ran out of paint  :withstupid: so had to order some more. however on the plus side 3/4 of the floor is sprayed and the remaining that isn't sprayed is ready for paint as soon as i have it. The inside of the boot is sprayed with stone-chip and is ready for yellow and the engine bay needs a quick rub down and primer, so all in all realistically i should be able to spray the whole underside, the inside of the boot and the engine bay at least by the end of the xmas holidays. hoping to also have the inside of the car done also however it depends on how well spraying goes haha.

 

Also i want a x in the rear of my cage as i think this looks really cool through the back window and also adds to strength, how hard would this be to cut right? as i have supplies to the right metal so would easily be able to get it.
