update time rear cage is very near to completion, i've put most of the interior back in and got the dash back in (don't ask how hahaha)
i'll start the new dash of alloy plate and stainless steel bits in the spring, first it needs a new MOT in a few weeks so i've been only busy getting the car running again
so also put the stock fuel tank back under, with the filler cap in the trunk as the alloy plate's in the rear block the original cap
harnesses mounted
and it runs again

the christmas holiday i've been busy clearing out my second storage, after a week i finally was able to get the car inside and with just enough room to work on it if the weather is bad
took it for a small shakedown and i found that the knobs of the window mechanism were rattling, so i've modified them with a delrin bearing and a new fixing, the mounting to the window frame has also been altered; from a hex bolt with a 3D ring to a stainless ring with a flathead screw
also shortened the doorhandles, made the mounting shorter so they feel much more solid (previously you were able to wobble them up and down a little), still not 100% happy with them, will make something new once the front cage (doorcrosses) are in
finally a wash and it went back into the storage. productive weekend
next weekend to Germany for a snowboardingweekend and after that; bring on the MOT it's done 460km since last year so it should fly through with ease
