I wont be rushing it, dont see the point when working on cars

Dont paint the carbon.... Leave it as it is IMO Itl look the tits with the bonnet on!
It took ages with our hole saw, im sure with better tools you could breeze through it in no time. We used the size it says on the guide. I fitted one in Nickheads car when I built that up last year so knew what i was doing

As im sure everyone knows the weather is terrible at the moment so I havent been able to get much done. Firstly I decided to tackle finishing off the satshifter set up. Firstly the gearstick so I was lying underneath the car and not getting too wet lol. Then I fitted the upper rod through the bulkhead, All thats left is to connect it up with the gearstick







Nice and close to the steering wheel




As the weather cleared up I started to carefully modify the black plastic scuttle part that runs along underneath the window screen to make it fit with the extended scuttle while trying to keep it looking standard
