No updates on metal work.

I've decided with all this work into the car it deserves a new wiring loom, so I've set someone on to custom make a brand new loom with a few tweaks but I think it will be worth it.

I've also ordered the finishing touches, the stainless steel bolt kit 🙈

I've narrowed down the wheel choice but the colour is still wide open for suggestions.

I think to do it right it should go all the way back like this, that way you know there are no hidden horrors

That's the front floor done!

Why would you plate a section when you can replicate the shapes and bump it should be 😉
