Its was 90% masked up before I dropped it off- I guess thats cheating

The car is starting to come together. I got some rubber inserts for the flares.

Got the front and rear windows in tonight. After alot of swearing because I couldn't get the rubber insert in the window seal. I made a tool out of a 9mm spanner. Then it only took seconds to install the insert.

The insert that caused me all the trouble

converted spanner insert tool

Still got some wof left

Once I get it back out side I will take some more photo's, The interior is not finished the door cards are a bit manky and I have spent the money for the carpet so it maybe a little while away

Update- I got given a speedo out of a E30 today, so I have modified it to go in place of the 2002 mech one.

I very much doubt the car will ever get to 240km

I need to make new trunk covers as well. Did you use your old ones to make a template or did you wing it with some card board?

Awesome build btw!

Thank you for displaying your build. It has been a treat to read about and gander at your car's transformation. Good luck on the hillclimb this weekend!
