I am self employed and currently work shifts. This week I am on nights. I go to work at 3.30pm and get home at 6am. Up at 11am. This gives me 4.5 hrs
per day for working on the car.
This is the progress after two weeks.

I am open to suggestions!
To give you an idea, it is going to be an "atom" type car with an R1.

I got them on ebay from someone who I think the username is redpip69.
Not cheap, especially if you buy the mounting brackets and padding.
They are about £220 but the padding is around £40 per seat and brackets about £25 per set.
All I can say is that they are very good quality using close weave black glassfibre and are reasonably light at around 4-5kg each.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Plywood chassis like the original Marcos 1800? good idea strong, stiff and easy to do with a router and Aerolite adhesive ( special epoxy for
wood)
