Looking good Paul. Can't wait to take a closer look at the next track day.

Although it looks like someone's broken into it already. See all the broken glass on the road. :mrgreen:

Hello everyone, been cutting off more steel, getting two front guards, cut into rear guard, going to panel beaters tomorrow. Also putting front bumper bar on, then have to build floor and paint, hopefully finished before Natmeet, Paul.

Since the "MX5" trailer wasn't going to be ready for Natmeet, I got this trailer sprayed in Sunlight silver, just to bring the extra stuff, Paul.

Hello everyone, still a bit of a mess, front guards joined onto back, and bogged in, front bumper bar on, should be sanded and sealed this weekend, then I will finish off the floor and figure out the rest of it, Paul.

Hello everyone, got the trailer back from the panel beaters, still a lot of work to do, floor to build, fixed front bumper to guards and chassis, then trying to figure out how to fill in the hole, then I made some spines the same profile and attached ply to it, now to figure out hinges, I will put the bulge in it, the same as the bonnet, I will get it fibreglassed and painted. I couldn't use a bonnet, because the gap is wider, also need to find headlight protectors to put in for headlights.
