really going to need one of those light in sight's now! :lol:
But this is an AWESOME build, and your blog updates are great! took me awhile to figure out why you were doing the roof in glass/fiber since i started with the newest posts and worked backwards .. I'd love to see some of the completed roof pictures inside and out (if there are any) :popcorn: |

If I get the car out this weekend I will take some internal photos, though there isn't much room to take pictures in focus...

Some days I question why I started this project when everything seams to be custom... Now I need to get the windows made, it's not really a surprise that the widows are custom but before the glass is made I needed to make templates of the glass. I had already made the fronts so this time I made the rears. Still got to trim the templates to size.

I can confirm one thing... I will never do it again :lol:
I did it because I thought it would be a good project, and I wanted something different. Nothing more than an idea, boredom and some spare time |
Do you have any recent pictures? i would love to see the current progress.

Got the hand brake in and working, rear callipers installed, drive shafts installed - this took ages as it would appear the retaining spring clip was not spring steel but a mild steel so instead of it compressing and popping in it just bit into the spline so I had to get another and make it work, all done now
Managed to get all the window templates trimmed down to size ready to go out next week so I can have my windows made. Just some photos of the trim down https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1...UNSET%255D.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--...UNSET%255D.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_...UNSET%255D.jpg With the windows in its going to come together quick - I hope... |
looking good, cant wait to see it with windows.

updates! updates! updates!

Too hot today (UK is unusually hot - I don't do hot...) but I managed to get my roof lining foam installed, hated it! I'm covered in glue :(
On to more exciting news, I went around to get quotes for the exhaust system, I was shocked at the prices coming back for what is a basically a straight through exhaust so since I have done everything else on the car I thought I would just make the exhaust too so I went shopping... Came back home with this and I plan to fit it over the next couple of weeks :) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C...UNSET%255D.jpg |
I love watching the progression of this build. Keep it up!

May I please go for a ride in your chop top mini when you are finished?.....I have a trip planned out your way in 2015.
|
this is truly an amazing project ... looking forward to seeing the finished product !
|
I always have a lot of respect for someone that takes on a project like this and keeps going on it. It looks great so far, can't wait to see it finished.

So what's new these days??!!!
