So my goal was to get the car finished by the end of this year. I'm not going to make it because of the exhaust. But that's all.
This week so far I've finished off the boot and rear area. This includes:
- Boot side panels
- Fuel filler and vapour pipes
- fuel cap
- Fitted boot
- rear roll bar mount
- roll bar installed (that's was a real pita)
- polished the roll bar myself. (I left it with a pro to do a month ago, and I called him on dec 23 and he hadn't done it. No apology. No call. Nothing. B@$tard!)
- fix rear of body to chassis (I left this undone until I'd fixed the roll bar - good move!)
- boot insulation (this will be one cold Cobra ass!)
- tail lights, number plate lights, handle, latch and catch
- heat protection for the impending exhaust (think I've got enough? Nothing's getting hot under there!)
There's a few other customisations too:
- luggage anchors
- boot lighting (LEDs)
Tomorrow I'm going to finish:
- demisters
- squirters
- windscreen
- headlights and front indicators
Then all I've got to do is fit the bonnet, bonnet handles, catches and latches. Plus some under bonnet heat protection.
(For the record, I actually do have the upgraded body with star carbon/kevlar composite - just in case anyone makes me an offer too good to refuse in the future and looks back at this thread!)
