Started to do work on the car the other day.
I have had the alarm fitted and now just need to start sorting the rest.

Did the bonnet yesterday, put the vents in and heat proofed the underside but the pictures don't show it off very well.

Its getting there just really slowly.
Waiting on the seats at the minute, and am getting a dash next week and sending it off to be flocked.
Also waiting on my petrol tank off Pro-alloy think they are going to start making it next week or something.

The seats were sorted through Renton direct from Cobra, so you would need to speak to him to see if he is still able to do them.

Dash is furry yes, but i like it

roughly how much is a tank like that?
does it come with all the connections on top and does it have a bag inside or is it just an alloy tank with foam?

looks great BTW

You would be best to speak to Alex at Pro-Alloy as they are made to whatever spec you are after.
Mine is just a alloy tank with safety foam inside but i had the swirl pot and the sender and level gauge aswell.


Paul i hate to show you this but i had to pull your favourite stripe off as i was unhappy with the fit of the door.

I love what you have done to with the heat proofing under the bonnet, might have to borrow your idea and do the rest of mine. Bloody expensive stuff though isn't it!
