OMG, it's been 6 month since I'v set a hand upon this beastie!!!!

Well, got it out of the workshop today and it's been the first time I'v been able to stand back and take a look at the whole car.

I am glad I decided not to fit a scoop and just make a large bonnet bulge instead.
I think the BMW badge is going to make the "car park experts" think twice


It's still a little "high" in the wheel arches but I still might fit 14" Wire wheels which would fill the arches more.
BTW the Spyder body in the fore ground is not just a body, it is actually a body mounted on a rolling chassis!!! More about that later!!!





The dash is now in place so I can start with the wiring.
I plan on having 2 looms, one loom for the engine and engine bay + one loom for the car's lights, indicator, horn ect.




I intend to use the original column switches with a digital GPS speedo fitted to the column some where.

The plan is to sort out the wiring this week and fire it up, then there's the rad, seats, seat belts or harnesses, lights, interior ect, just a few things left to do.

The hardest thing left to do will be deciding which colour to paint it!!!

After all, it's less than 6 weeks to Stoneleigh.
