Yeah. The front seats will probably be trimmed in the same cloth as the rear seats to get it all matching. There is a burn hole in the drivers seat and the single passenger seat looks loads newer so it won't match otherwise

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Red lines are the bolts, back four meet the spars. Fronts bolt to the spars on the outside ones.

Mate, it is far from flimsy. It is 3 x 20mm RHS skinned with ally. it has 8 mounting points to the body and is hinged with 12mm bright steel round bar and stainless pivots.

Wait till you try it

What's this wagon progress pesky show season over, it's time to build big things









Back bumper version 2 was bent a while ago. Light positions marked and drilled. This rear end is stronger and does away with the OE light clusters in favour of some rather lovely wagon-spec individual units.













Cheeky flap door, bonus points for remembering what this is for.



Experimenting with different light combos.



I prefer white-red-red-white (indicator, stop/tail, fog, reverse)

Yeah bit of a leak since the ice, ceiling panel needs to come off and do a pressure check on the rest of the system.

Other than that, not much.
