It's a good job you got that new job to fund all this!

Looks like it is finally really starting to come together now

[Horney]

Indeed!

Just sorted an underground council garage in a gated community with a blipper for it to live in once finished for £38 a month. Result!

Got a bit out of order with this lot.

So, Dropped the platforms down 5mm and he cage now fits properly:

New seats and side mounts arrived:

Trial fitted in the car and as can be seen the cross member had to go as it was in the way to getting the seat far enough forward:

While I was messing about with the flap wheel grinding back the cross member I buzzed back the rust on the roof:

I also got the wire wheel out on the sealant that was holding the rear arch plastics on:

Then we messed about putting the front half the cage in and seeing what the door bars looked like:

Finally today I cleaned up where the cross member was and seam sealed it all to stop moisture getting in where it was removed. I also removed the remnants of the seat rails:

great progress Mr H,   

your good lady is even more forgiving than mine the amount of time you are spending on it at the moment 

[Horney]

That she is, this why I married her.
