It may not look any different, but the car is slowly turning into a racer. This weekend saw the seat mounts welded in and the battery relocated under the bonnet. That's still yet to be plumbed into the electrical system though. The cable pulls were fitted into the rear panel and all the towing eyes were painted a fetching shade of bright yellow.

The car is also now sporting a fibreglass sunroof replacement panel which needs a final bit of fettling before we can re-install the rollcage. (The rollcage prevents use of the sunroof catch, so we need to finish that before the main hoop is re-fitted).

Tonight should see more progress on the wiring, rain light and fire extinguisher plumbing fronts. At least now we're more confident of making the first race at Snetterton. More late nights this week and next week off work should see it done. I suppose as long as I get some rest before driving the trailer to Snetterton everything will be ok!

Thankyou to Terry for creating the sunroof panel and for spending most of his weekend welding before having to rush off to do another family member's decorating. He's supposed to be on holiday, the poor chap. Thanks also to David for being a dab hand with the paintbrush and spray-can, and for donating most of his left thumb to the cause...
