Hi John,
Thats looking very nice indeed mate  Rear tub looks good in the photo from what I can see. What colour scheme are you going with for the whole car??? Are you going to paint your Alu and your GRP as you said there are some scratches in the GRP. Cracking stuff  Johno

Haven't got a clue on the final colour scheme yet
 It's all a bit of a mish mash at the moment! Going to look even worse when I fit the rear wings - they're red! I'll eventually get the whole thing either painted or vinyl wrapped depending on cost. Last edited by skov : 23rd September 2012 at 09:58 PM.

One of the things I love about building the roadster is learning new skills.
Here's one I hadn't counted on... Decided to learn how to sew so I could attempt to knock up various bits of trim. It's not quite hairdressing, but probably more than girly enough to warrant using an MX5 as the donor Anyways, my wife refused to let me near her machine, so I picked up this little beauty off gumtree today for next to nothing:  They don't make them like this any more! Had a bit of a play this evening with some vinyl leatherette stuff I had kicking about (don't ask!). Didn't go too bad at all, managed flat-fell seams, french seams, and even a spot of welting  Last edited by skov : 24th September 2012 at 11:08 AM.
