thanks! To be honest the build has not been too bad, I would say the main pain-in-the butt has been fitting the air conditioning as they have never been built with factory air con before but the biggest pain has been access! Having a solid bottom aka hull, makes working on the engine bay etc real hard work! Lots of stretching and restricted access! Everything has to be accessed from the top! Plus working on the cabin is hard work, with only having half doors and very high sill!

I'm hoping to the have the steering in this week which will be a big boost! Makes it more car like!

Tried the ceramic coating.....peels off :evil:

Went with the wrap.....jees it gets itchy for a week or 2 after it's been fitted.....not tried painting ceramic on the wrap(might get the initial itchy out of the equation)but it'd be ugly!.......Wish I'd gone with the red wrap.....maybe I'll get some style eventually ::blink::

This has to be my favourite project by far!!

You're lucky I don't live nearby....you'd get no peace! :D

Could you let me know when you're ready for it's first dip....I'd really like to see it!
