This mornings work:
Gave the diff another coat of paint, removed my cage and seats
Got another bonnet for it, fitting aero pins to get rid of that heavy mechanism at the front
Im struggleing to get the front piece out- need to remove the dash
While the dash is out im going to find a replacement thats not got cracks in and get it flocked, also im not sure if im going to refit the front half of the cage... it wieghs a ton!

Interior metal work colour... ideas on a postcard black, white or orange like the cage? Im repainting it but fancy it alittle brighter in there, bearing in mind it will have orange cage and the car maybe going orange or white on the outside...
