Loads of progress today.

Headlights fitted,
Roll cage harness cross bar fitted.
Intercooler fitted
Prop shaft cage built (by friend) this splits in half to allow you to drop the shaft out.


Quick question.... i will be running the wiring loom and brake+fuel lines on opposite sides but do they have to be one on the bottom and one on the top?

There has to be separation between the wiring loom and the fuel lines but otherwise there are no other specific rules as far as I know.

Cool so running them both along the top of the tunnel will be fine as long as its on opposite sides,

Oh also found a place and bought some 2mm steel for the floor and also a sheet of 2.5mm steel. Both sheets 2m x 1m for 30 quid each. Not bad really! I'm VERY tempted to use the 2.5mm for the floor.

Can any of you guys advise as to the best way to weld it in without having loads of distortion?
