Cheers Ian, and only one hole on the near side seat runner needed elongating - the rest fit straight in.

Windscreen arrived, took three weeks which isn't too shabby. Did a dry run and roof line appears to be fine apart from the obvious deviation :lol:

Wheels now have tyres although some arch rolling will be required so that'll be after MOT.

Also still having fun with the IDA, back to a familiar scene

Full of crud again so onwards and upwards. :roll:

Excuse the exhaust note, fashioned some silencers together so as not to ruin the surrounding areas BBQ's in one hit.

Anyway, that's a bit more like it. 8-)

Sometimes you've just gotta use the closest thing available at the time. 8-)

Did a solid day at it today with Matt, one of the first jobs was fit an actual real life bonnet prop. :lol:

Also, for the benefit of the neighbours fitted a full exhaust system - kindly supplied by Ramon. Those of you that haven't got the luxury of a car ramp will feel my aches and pains right now, fitting an exhaust off axle stands is right down there in detested car tasks. Anyway, mustn't dwell - it's on there. A nearside door glass was borrowed from Nev and duly fitted.

Anyone got experience of fitting the side glass? The drivers side goes down fine but tries to come back up wonky and as it turned out so did the newly fitted nearside. Needs some fettling anyway.

The rest can be shown with pictures, sorted final ride height etc.
