looks good mate, are you having a small window in the drivers side? i always like a bit of fresh air when i drive

 

Yes, both front windows have vents and I have a small fan blower behind the dashboard

I imagine it won't be used on the public roads much but even on track I have the windows open, gets really hot for me.

 

True, it won't be on the road but I want to be cool/warm.  If it becomes too much then I'll look to put small vents in the rear windows to pull air out of the cabin

I've found that even doing a trackday in December I still get quite warm in the car but I'd never ditch the fan heater ever haha.

Good Friday, good day on the car more like!

 

Passenger door card now in and the door lock taken into account.

Traced it out for the drivers side

I know not everything under the dash is done but I wanted to fit everything so I could work out where to mount the door pulls and get a feel for what it's like to sit in the seat once more :)

Dash isn't quite lined up so need to adjust the brackets it's sitting on next time I take it out.  Switch panel is perfect though, won't hit it accidentally, can easily reach it with the harness on

and yes I spent a while in the drivers seat!  Love how comfortable it is and I can still get in and out easily.  It does feel weird with the door card in place as before you could rest on the roll cage and your arm would go into the door but I should have both hands on the wheel anyway.

 

Also couldn't help test fitting the windscreen :)

You can see the heating elements on the inside but not when you are looking through the glass.  I've never totally unwrapped it before but the wires to the heating elements are at the bottom so should be easy to hide under the dash

 

Got around to test fitting the centre console too.  All the main switches are in easy reach, but I think I now know what is going to the left had side of the digital dash - any switch I need quickly as there is a lot going on with all the circuit breakers! Plus it's not easy to see some of them

Last job was to start on the door pulls.  Whole reason of fitting the seat in the first place - see where I could reach the pull strap and then work out how to mount it.  Did the passenger side first once I'd figured it out

It's mounted to a 2mm aluminium plate that's fixed back to the door structrure rather than the door card.  Less chance of some ham-fisted idiot pulling off the door card later on!

Brake lines were the task for the today, needed to keep busy

All the pipework needs clipping into place but it's all routed apart from the pedal box.  Had to put the decals back on the rear doors next as I've been itching to do it for a while.

Fire and fuel lines next...

Again, needs to be clipped in.  The fuel lines seem way too long, looks like I'll need to re-route or shorten them.

I bet while you were sat in there you pretended to be driving it too didn't you? :D

 

Looking good dude, fast becoming a car again!

Were you watching me.... Of course I was, even had the harness on!  Pedals felt weird but then I remembered I need my racing shoes as my steel toe caps are too wide.

 

Carbon roof next and then it's onto sealing in the last of the windows and the chassis is mobile again without covers so I can trailer it down for the engine install
