Here are a few more pics, the frame is taking a sort of shape now. Lots of trianulation pieces to put in, but we should be left with clear foot wells and nice storage areas under the rear seats for battery and bits and bobs.

So, we took a look at the wheels I got from the scrappy. They are alloys but in a poor shape. They have been painted but it is chipped and flaking.

Hi Rod. Thanks - Yes, galaxy leather seats are going in with 3 point seat belts. The arches will be high to form arm rests and provide sideways stability. I was reading your posts today and thinking how my plans were sort of what you was trying to acheive  - the seats fold down so when im on my own I can reove all the cluttered look at the rear, a nice removeable cover should make it look sleek enough I hope. |

so we have cleaned off all the paint from the ally, it looks pretty poor below. We had a go with some wet and dry and it seems to polish up ok (right hand segment), - going to need some elbow grease on these I think.

Yeah, that may do it! They are quite rough, so will need gradually making smoother to get a finish. Some form of rotating thingy with various abrasives would be the way to go - you are right.
