Few pictures of the side pannels at 1st and 2nd coat stages 
   
  
 
 
Will get better pictures tommorow.also started on the rear door blanks/cards.
 
Fairly roughly done.not will be sprayed black

Suffolk.stowmarket to be precise.I think you came and camped near us at pugfest?

Yeah I really want to.but i'd have to get the transmission tunnel welded for the mounting points(1 think handy about my current harnesses, they run bolted mounting points nather than that most which use the clip and eyelet method.
 
So eventually ill get 4 points and new seats, seen these reps on eBay which are bascailly identical to the cobra revolution but half the price. 
 
But that will probably be in the new year atm they'll do.As many friends have told me I can keep throwing money at it.yet I haven't done 1 trackday in it yet and don't wanna be one of those people who build a awsome car and never track it.
 
But I think I will be purchasing some solid rear mounts, 21mm Tb's an hybrid arb.As it still scares the shit out of me round Bents.The deadline for most mods will be early April all ready for nurbergring.

Yeah should be soon maybe Friday depending on funds.I have the Toyo's now which where FREE.
 
Yeah do you go to FCS or Pug fest ? Tempted to go to the Xmas meet up, hopefully get a convoy from the east.
