So the cage and seats are in. I also got my friend to weld in mounting points for the new battery cage. I am going to give it a good clean, finish off a few wee bits then it will be MOT'd before going for paint.

I also weighed the standard front door window glass IMG_20180527_112518 Vs the new makrolon version IMG_20180527_112643 Not forgetting the standard door card IMG-20180527-WA0010 I need to weigh the window regulators and new door cards but I reckon I have saved about 7.5 - 10kgs per door. Helps offset the weight of the cage.
So I removed the boot floor for modification and got the interior painted at a friend's bodyshop. I also got him to cut a hole in the roof for the new scoop. I am quite happy with how it has turned out. The next few weeks will involve bolting the cage and seats in for the final time, fitting the front windows, dash back in, tidying all the wiring and relocating the battery. Getting there slowly.

So a bit more progress... Lots more wiring removed. What a mission. IMG_20180725_210626 Seat and cage in for good.

We got the front end stripped off in no time. IMG-20180730-WA0023 Loom out of the way IMG-20180730-WA0024 AC pump body deleted as per another thread on here IMG-20180731-WA0018 Engine and box out IMG-20180801-WA0032 IMG-20180801-WA0034 IMG-20180801-WA0038 Box off so I decided to get it rebuilt at the same time IMG-20180801-WA0039 Both rear quarter windows arrived IMG_20180801_203501 Rear screen IMG_20180801_203656 So that is where we are up to at the moment. Plenty to be getting on with but it is getting there.
