This is how it Sat about a month ago, it has since gone for paint and should be back in the next few weeks

It got new front floor panels both sides, new inner and outer sills both sides, and a new wing / A panel

Here's some of the bits I have, I have a 6 point roll cage that I'm getting flocked aswell

Centre locks with new water temp and oil pressure gauge

I've thought about that actually, it's not going to be driven much to be honest so I'll see how long they last, not a major job to change them anyway.

Here's my daily actually, some of you guys might appreciate it

I love this car! The standard city centre caps will look the nuts IMO, they are just wide steels without them, the caps will make it look properly caricature :-)

Nearly there now! One of the doors reacted badly to the paint so that has to be done again!

Shame about the door but the rest of the paint look great. I think I am going to have to get some 12" wheels done for my Scamp now I have seen these.

Looking forward to seeing how the rest of it takes shape.
