I really couldn't be bothered with the glue on the roof  :laugh:

I seriously don't blame you, at times it was just sprayed with brake cleaner and set on fire in the vain hope the rest of the car would go up with it too! :sad: :evil:

I took cage out to get at it, going to paint that separately then bolt it in later on :wink:

My cage took about 4 hours to get it in the right position and with the feet in there i don't see it coming back out without cutting the car to bits  :laugh:

So I just left it  :tongue:

I hope you've stuffed paper in the threaded holes for the cage mounts before hosing black paint over everything?  :undecided:

Primer done, just need to buy a few more cans of top coat stuff for early next week for when i get to put actual colour on.

Takes a whole load of cans :sad:

Was coughing up black paint this morning, 8 hours after last nights session :grin:

Interior has had its top coat on and masking removed. Like it lots.

Bucket seats bought back home to have covers washed and be tarted up abit.

3mm foamalux bought for door cards, absolute bargain, hoping to get these done this weekend and the insides of the doors finished, just got to find some novelty door handles :laugh:

Can put everything back inside the car then and should be that finished, bar a new indicator stalk that managed to snap itself while I was removing the dashboard.

Few bits of wiring to do, 5th gear back on the gearbox, engine in, driveshafts on, rag the sh!t out of it :grin:

Still need to paint the cage?

Ive been tempted by the foamalux but decided to leave it for now as it can be done at a later date  :cool:

Yes dave....the indicator stalk broke its self haha nothing to do with you whatsoever  :laugh:


Sounds awesome though dude cant wait to see the finished product but more importantly a update of how it drives  :cool:
