Monty the Rwd R1 engined tarmac eating Minus by Alburglar

I have now stripped the top layer of grp back in the front floor pans and the steel was in pretty good nick. I've dremel'd the surface rust of ready for some kurust to prime it. 

I have put the other drive shaft in and put the whole diff assembly back together now, but I have 2 large washers left over. The only place I can think that they may have come from is the diff bolts, perhaps because the bolts are a mm too long for the thread in the diff carrier. Can people please check there diff bolts and see if you have one washer or two washers per bolt?

Integral steel has now been kurusted and hammerite'd ready to be recovered with grp, at the same time I will be covering any unwanted holes left from surplus bracketery etc in the front floor, bulkhead and exhaust tunnel.

I have properly primed and nearly finnished painting the front floor spreader plates.

I have also addresed the issue of fresh air into the cockpit, as I've been in a couple of these now and they get very hot in there! The vents will be fed by two ram-air type scoops and pipes from behind the front grill.
