When I swapped the exhaust on the blue one a few weeks ago, there were still bits of badger hair stuck in the waxoyl from when I hit one over a year ago :gimme:

And Pie, I could borrow my cousins force racing splittys when he takes his car off the road, dunno if he'd let me though. And 7x10s may stick out a liiittle bit!

Got the master cylinders in, and connected to the pedals. Clevis pins were dead easy, cause I used likkle R-pins instead of split pins >_<

Marked and cut all the holes for the gauges. I'm still itching from all the fibreglass :shifty:

Put the heater in as well to see how it looks, and I think I'm going to leave it like that and not bother with the centre console. Gives me more room in there as well.

Headlining is in:

Just needs painting, and it'll be done.
I've got the back end pretty much wired up now. Whether it will acutally work is another question! :) The heater is bracketed up solid, I've adjusted the steering column height and figured out some of the front end wiring. Its all coming together...

Ta dude. Because its glued to the roof, its acting like sound deadening as well - when you tap the sides and roof, it sounds like a rolls royce!

oooooO!

How thick is it? I've got some stuff here thats about 1.5" thick, its used as padding for VERY expensive machines, I was going to put it on the floor, use it as sound deadening and a bit of a pimp floor :)

Whats yours made of?
