My refresh / build

[mutley]

Car basically stripped as far as it can be ! and the roof is now painted in very shiny new black paint.

Mentioned on another thread, today's little win was finding a tyre fitter that was able to remove the cracked/split old space-saver tyre, and replace it with the folding spare of a Merc (C-class/SLK) wheel I bought on ebay.

I'm disappearing for a few weeks ( as per my job) hopefully will have some more photo updates on my return.

Cheers,

Jim

New wings have arrived and test fitted, and slowly the car starts looking like a car again:

Nice progress!

And test fit of the Seibon bonnet (although now not sure if the spare wheel fits in with the scoop):

I’m sure I was told that the design of the Seibon is such that the OEM spare will fit … however …

Why fit a lightweight carbon bonnet then shove a heavyweight spare you’ll never use underneath it?

Hi Paul, Yeah i know what you mean, but just out of curiosity really. As I have the new tyre on the spare wheel, and IF/When the day comes that i part with the car it's an option to have it in.

Also, as i have lost a fair bit of weight from the front of the car, might need to create a wee bit of balance.

But its all coming on nicely.

Cheers
