Give us a shout as soon as it's done
And fair play for starting again with the floor!
Haven't forgotten mate, just the weather didn't exactly work out well for us
New year is looking good, I'll get some details to you as soon as I'm back in the office Tuesday

yes i suppose it is more karls fault than yours but your not totally blameless .but its all good mate onwards & upwards.
the quality of some of the projects on here is very high & i knew i could do better with the trans tunnel ,been bugging me for a good while ,the more i looked at it the more it bugged me .richie knew this & worked on me until today.
all for the better after all its only steel .
im not looking forward to collys post he hates me using the grinder

as you know with your focos you have to do it as many times as it takes to get it right & your happy with it ,i was not happy with the seat position once the cage was in & the tunnel was annoying me for quiet a while .

Looking good Andy! All the fabrication work going in to this is amazing. Very interested to see what you come up with for the floor and tunnel, I am most likely going to chop mine out too
Keep up the good work Andy!

daft question ronnie im making my car as good as i can .
alright then dan thanks for the encouragement the floor is 110mm lower ,the tunnel will be tapered from front to back with more angles so it is more rigid & do not distort so much & the underneath will be totally flat .
its not that big did you not see what i done to the rear 1/4 panels

yes they are steve wish i had the time to learn
the tunnel will be a multi fold job done in two pieces should be a lot better than the last one
as for the seats they came out of shonky version one
they are a very snug comfortable fit .
