So the list of work completed

Patch a couple of interior hole with some fibreglass

Paint interior at the back and under the bonnet with stone chip

Fit roof lining (bugger of a job but looks :cool: ) contact adhesive like trying to spread rubber!!

Fit carpet (not one of you made to fit easy option) one big square of carpet measured (kind of) and cut to shape

Bond chequer plate to floor

Fit rear kit and cage

Fit steering rack (made a bit trickier by absence of steering rack you bolts :nugget: )

Fit front subframe and shocks

Change drive flanges discs and calipers (well almost the hub nut on one side is proving reluctant so will have to wait a bit)

Fit wheels so can say it rolls on its own :grin:

[Ade]

looking good , whats next to do 

Loads! :tongue: :grin:

Mainly final fit of subframe shocks steering rack and brakes then onto seats steering column etc etc

Then I guess engine piping wiring and such things.

pete told me how he was getting it rolling this weekend so was looking forward to seeing it. Its well wide and well low!! wicked

Yes Pete was certainly ambitious but he doesn't allow for food or anything!!! he just works until he goes dizzy and falls over :nugget: :tongue:

He wasn't used to me feeding him the whole time (I'm ex forces and it's true the army marches on it stomach )

But we did indeed get it rolling :cool:

Now that Ade has given me some time off for good behaviour(or at least until next Sunday), I can get on with my own car. More welding, mount the engine and fit some arches. Will post pics over the weekend.

I think that really would be ambitious!!!

It's booked into the bodyshop for the 23rd so am hoping to get as much done as possible so when it's painted there won't be too much work left (ie not too many chances to scratch it!!)

Pete I was going to ask if you wanted to go to that Kit car show (possibley monday) to look for some dials?
