good work! how come you put new sound deadenin in? i wouldnt have bothered
i love the olive green. it was the colour i wanted from day 1.
put new sound deadening in because it would be silly noisy in there without it. and the carpet would be baggy without it. New stuff weighs about 10% of the old stuff.
but im not overly bothered about weight saving, very light car anyway... i can pick it up by myself atm...

agree I wouldnt have bothered with new sound deadening but each to their own.
Is it just me though or does the black paint look really patchy in the last interior shot?
nope all one soild caolur, i got laughed at as i was taking so much effort to get it 100% perfect even tho youll never see it.
if you look at the black door card that also looks patchy ... but its a solid black door card.
as said even if it were what does it matter, it will be sprayed with the shell and then have carpet over the top.
the aim of this car is not a show car nor a track car, its going to be a daily so all sound deadening and trim will be updated and replaced.
it should look almost standard when its done to the untrained eye with lots of special bits here n there

Worked on my hole last night...
some back ground on "the hole"

on grinding it back i discovered it looked like this
which made this
Welded a small plate in but the surrounding metal was like tin foil
started grinding it back last night and jusy started going through so thought sod it all do it properly
crappy iphone pics coming up
after grinding back
taken back to decent metal
ouch thats a big hole
then 3 hours of messing with sheet metal, body work hammers and lots of swearing an d throwing tool about, id managed to fabricate a decent enough peice...
still required some tweeking but it was getting late
im proud of that

front ends are prone to rust. only spot welded on. makes bay and engines a lot easier to work on
Not the onei had in mind but an example non the less
