Robin Hood,
Tiger Avon,
MK Indy

How much are you retailing the seat pads for?

Just pricing the seat pads at the moment, cost is totally dependent on the material that covers them. I'm going to have to produce an options
list for this.
The GRP pads themselves for self covering would be £35.
Kind regards,
Darren

Note, to be fair, the Panther is only 2000gbp's vs the 3000gbp's for the 2b. However, on top of that 2000, GTS charges 180 for shocks and
springs, 700 for an exhaust system, 120 for a propshaft, 230 for a lightset, ....

Some of those parts are not included in the kit, because they dont form part of what the Panther is, there has never been a windscreen available for
the Panther, though Darren is in the process of developing one at the moment I believe.
Also:
* Steering column support bracket
* Steering column bush bracket
These arent required because there is a tube welded into the top of the bulkhead to support the lower end of the column.
Like you say the RH kit is £1000 more anyway.
To be honest I dont think, price wise, theres much to choose between RH and GTS if you do your sums, but I know which one will give you better quality
for your money  
You pays your money...

Wow that is one lovely car and stunning colour. I love it and want one. I was dissapointed to not have been able to go this year but now I am gutted.
I'd loved to have had a good look round that. Does any one know what colour it is called? I may have found the answer to my what colour body
question. Top work Darren and loving the seat pads too. Quality.
