It looks like it was wax oiled along time ago tbh. Can't fault the shell it is so solid everywhere removing the carpet was like winning the Lottery 😂 Has made the project so much easier 👍🏻

That looks fantastic ..cant wait to give him the go ahead to make me 1 .. are you keeping the brake resovoir or changing as I was thinking of changing to pedal box due to room but now looks to be plenty of room on yours.
