Update August 19th 2019

I have been busy with work and waiting for parts but at last I'm moving on again! The body, electric pack etc is arriving from Chesil this week which will give me a lot to do.

Interior

I have done some work on the interior design and fingers crossed I think I have come up with a nice design. I'm going for a two tone colour using a Savannah and Cashmere leather colour.

Initial seat designs is done and I'm having one made up to check the final look.



Braking system

All adjusted and bled, I'm using DOT5, from what I have read it is more suitable for the car that doesn't get used too much and it isn't corrosive, it was however more expensive.

Wheels on!

Car now off the axle stands and on its wheels.
