do it holgraphic flake
A great Idea Dave, what is holographic flake when it's at home then? If it's cheapish it'll be a goer. If not it's going to be something else   Manky, that orange jobbie be a Grinnall, Nice little toy but a bit pricey for what it is to be honest. I was offered a test drive in one but when money came up I politely declined. Gary |

Woo hoo!
Yup, seen loads of Grinnalls about. I quite like the BMW bike/trike one. Like the way the new back end body panels match the original factory ones so well.

A few more piccys of the car, it needs work but it's fun to drive.         I have a few little jobs to sort, the temp guage needs changing and a new thermostat switch needs fitting to run the fan. The kids noticed the reg no and have called it 'Brum'. A fiver says the name sticks. The dash is untidy and badly organised so thats first on the list for changing. Seats are being changed and harnesses fitted and the roll over bar is going to be substantially reinforced. As soon as winter arrives it's going on sorn and a few people are going to be stripping it down and refurbing the chassis etc. More madness as it transpires. Gary |

I'm doing seat mounting brackets this week.
I need the passenger seat sat slightly further back than the drivers seat.
It's too close and I'm constantly worrying about elbowing my passenger in the chest.
I'm also setting my seat so that fully forward it's just right for me to drive and when fully back I can get my lardy arse out of the car without jumping thru hoops or falling over.
Piccys of the old and the new later on.
Gary

Taz & I were at the Beaulieu motor museum recently. There was a car there that had also been used for hill climbing. It had the same seat layout.

I liked the little cut-out in the floor for the driver's heel to rest in.

The new dash, it's going to be covered in black leather and then a loom made to connect to the plastictrickery under the dash.    Somehow I need to make sense of all the spaghetti and get it into a couple of plugs so it all fits together. Anyone have any idea of how to wire a car? Gary |
