I wasn't at the workshop today as I am going up later with a mate. Note how he only lends a hand when the hard work is out the way and we start fitting up

Anyway I thought I would at least do something to contribute to the car so I got the saws out...
I am by no means a carpenter by the way! I have these for the front which came on the car I broke


So I needed something for the back, I have some really nice Pioneer 17cm speakers which came with the car.
I am a cheapskate and didn't want to buy any wood so I utilised this old whiteboard which had been knocking about


After some cutting




Male + pen + white surface =cock. Oh how it made me giggle


I then puy some candyfloss inside,it didn't taste great


I have all the bits cut for the other one, just needs assembly. Eventually they will be mounted on mdf board on the shelf and carpeted.

Single wiper to fit tonight.


Should have pics tomorrow of it looking like a car again!!

I have just got up (1:15pm)   after staying at the workshop untill 4 this morning!! My mate said he was up for a late one, but christ!  Fuelled by cider and other such things we got cracking. My aim for the night was to have the boot on, the doors, all the glass bar the windscreen and a few other odds and ends. We far exceeded that, and there isn't much left to go back on!
It seems that the more we put on the less black the car looks, contrast I guess.  I didnt take any during pictures as we were flat out and my phone was providing the tunes
I started by polishing and fitting the rear lenses to help line the boot up:


So here we are pretty much done, got the g60 arches to fit perfectly, the pass door however needs some tampering with.














Cant wait to get it outside next week and take some proper pics. Its hard to believe it was pretty much a bare shell yesterday!  Chuffed to bits I am

I got the car outside yesterday, which was a task in itself! I had to move a splitscreen on a dolly and countless other heavy things that have built up in front of the booth!
Took some opportunist photos when the sun popped out:








Put to bed for the night!:



I will be trailering the car 20 miles home this afternoon, so need to buy a decent cover as it will be sat on my drive until christmas. Will be sorting the sound system etc out while its here.
