got the roof on and had to rivet the fibreglass back onto part of the steel framing.. also got both doors on to keep 95% of the wind/weather out.. workin windows and all.. heh..
Image

being a rear mounted radiator and having a full roof can be a bit of an issue, so made up a clear pespex window and some alloy ducting to funnel outside air into radiator through the std window opening..

No seats sorry Heath.

Running gears still holding up mint. Chromoly front end is sound as a pound and ARB lockers still actuating nicely. It's all still sweet as really. Woot! Odd really with such a menacing powerhouse engine crankin hardcore horsepower... :mrgreen:
