    Hi Guys,

    Now I'm Diabetic, but I can't resist some Coffee and Walnut cake, (read most cake really ) anyway in my lunch box today perched on a slice of Kim's cake was a very good surprise which I would like to share with you all, a rice paper Pop oh and you can have some cake if you come over and help with the Pop





    Cheers,

    Bit of progress the last few days on the pop, modified the mini throttle pedal to get more of the cable inside the cab rather than through the engine bay


    Managed to get the wipers put back in after changing a wheel box as the thread had stripped and the servo


    Also started knocking up a heater box out of scrap ali and another PC cooling fan, oh and some vents left over from a previous build

    Made up this panel to fit across the top of the cowl to break up the flatness a bit, might stripe it or pop a gauge in

    Strange Mark came over and gave us a hand with the rollcage puzzle ...lol, we got there in the end mate ?


    With the seats in place we could see what touched and how much room i had for the trimmer to get the headliner in


    We lucked out on this, one bracket was all that needed making
