Seats were removed as some grinding would be done in time ,first job was to cut the front and back screens out

Then it was a case of finding the spot welds and drilling and chiseling them out .

At this piont Dan was having kittens seeing his pride and joy being opened up like a can of tuna




Slipped a few times


And off

That ended the first day as we was running out of light.
Today saw us popping back over to tidy up the edges abd get the roof bonded on.



Dan had fitted his door cards he got off performance trim ,all looked good lined up against the roof from carbon delight .

Performance trims work not looking so good .(will be getting a call)

Roof now bonded on and clamped down

Also bonded on the gutter trims and added some weight over night






By this time the ruby had arrived, so set up the table in the garage,as all the gear was still out and enjoyed the veiw lol

Screens back in tommrrow and on track at coombe on saturday
I received another set of door cards for replacment of the ones shown in picture above.

Must say how efficient performance trim are when dealing with the issue.

SPOT ON SERVICE

Pictures to follow when fitted.

Ok bit more progress on the car ,Dan has fitted his oil cooler and remote filter housing

After getting the roof from carbon delight Dan ordered a bonnet up straight away ,picked this up yesterday ,we asked for the bonnet pin recesses to go nearer the front, as on a saff they sit far back ,so we had to knock up some little brackets to suit .the rear bolt on as normal as phil made a couple of neat little moulds .






Headlamps and indicators now tinted



Next up full carbon boot and spolier
