any one who attended the grasshopper meet last week will no it caught fire on the way and after three solid days of rewiring its back and almost ready for the rolling road day willay has so kindly organised

while it was in bits i added two new extras and have also decided to put the interior back in the front and possiblly change the seats back to gsi if i can find some mint ones.

also as it is starting to need paintwork as some tiny spots of rust have started to appeer on the bottoms of the doors do you think i should colour code the bumpers ?

the live wire from the horn came off and earthed out on the engine and burned right back to the fuse box and everything in its path so i had to remove the loom and rewire every damaged wire
