progress update.
Afternoon all,
I'm feeling a.ittle proud withmyself so i thought i'd share it, and say a big thank to those who answered my annnoying little questions over
the past few days
Well my girlfriend had her viva for her Phd on wednesday so i booked it and the rest of the week off to work on the car.
(Oh she passed, and is now making me call her doctor all the time)
I've managed to trim most of the interior, make the boot panels, paint the fronat and rear arches, mock up the dash ready for making, and various
other little bits. It almost looks like a car now, I just need tofit the dials and test them, (think i'm gonna get confused on the speedo so be
prepared for questions)
see pics below (can't seem to upload some at the minute)

Looks nice and tidy, only question I have is should the vertical sides come in like that at the bottom or have a long V strip to space out so it
follows the profile of the top tube ?
I,m homebrew so mine has the latter... I do not know what is right for yours it just looks a little stressed at that angle !
Regards Mark

Mine's done like that but riveted to the outside of the tubes. It makes the car look thinner from the front. The aluminium bends easily enough
and isn't stressed enough to bother the rivets.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Looks like you're making really good progress Neil. It's come on leaps and bounds since last time I saw it.
Keep up the good work.

Next she'll want to play "doctors and nurses" and obviously she won't be the nurse.

Looks great, is that you're own paint-job?
I like a dash which hits the tunnel.
BTW: robertst, he has still the wheel on the wrong side
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)
