Very much so, just need to get a few other bits removed from the bay and then think about cutting off the bulkhead bit. Was going to paint it all black but its such good condition as it is think i may leave it Arden Blue. Guess thats one of the benefits of using a newish shell...!

Graham - LOL  Go with the yellow and blue / black theme and looks good imo. As tacky as painted drums are its not "tacky" or "chavy" on this car as its track.
Fazza - I pressure washed the underneath and scrubbed it a few weeks back so thats all really. Then just brushed / dabbed it on. Goes on well. Bit messy though, Deffo need to get the car up high.

Been key sanding the inside shell again tonight, and the cage. Decided on having it all black but the rear floor and outside arden blue.
Also ditching the half dash and having a custom metal dash with extra roll-cage bars behind it.
All the electrics (lights, indicators, wipers etc) will be controlled off flick / toggle switches.
Also will have the launch control and ecu switches mounted on straight on the metal dash too.
Good job couple of my mates are fabricators lol!

Dave, funnily enough was lying in bed last night thinking about my colours.
My original idea, before i had even seen yours, was to have blue rear floor, roof sides and all rest inside shell black with yellow rollcage, harness and spare comp.
Gotta admit, the yellow does strangely go nice with the blue

Took out ALL the wiring looms which together really do weigh an absolute ton! I hope to put NONE of the Standard loom back in!
The first leg really needed some work as it needed lifting up about 2cm. The others should be ok now this one is sorted:
