[Red Riley]

Soo... Did a little bit of computer work today just to put into picture how the car will finally look. Thanks for the colour change by the peeps in the digital mini section.

Here it is

Well today was going to be a 'work on the car day' and it was.... untill after about 4 hours i lost the feeling in my hands and feet..... sooooooo cold down the garage.

I managed to fit one of the rear doors... fits well... just remember which hinge is the top one... DOH

I also started stripping the old doors down of the hinges, and lock mechanisms to transfer over to the new doors.

After freezing to death down the garage i decided to do a bit of 'in the flat' work and came up with this

I've decided to not use the peep mirrors now and gone with these



I've also mounted a switch on the bottom of the mirror a la TVR that will operate the door solanoids.



As you can see the switch fits very nicely into the mirror.... now to find a way of wiring it.... need to find some hollow bolts.

[vtec_miniestate]

Why thank you

[Mark@IR]

That looks awesome. Course i'm biased cause they're my switches but still!

Should go get the mirror case chromed to match the switch.. Pooooorn!
