3 minute(s) of a 160 minute read

popped in the workshop after work, for a couple of minutes and couldn't resist finishing off the petrol filler hole removal

looks like it was never there, or rather- it will do once painted, so on to the next job.

Well the cage is bolted back in place at last...

...and I've got the necessary bits ready for the dash bar...

...and I've mocked it up, just need to make a bracket for the steering column to hang off
