I got my supplies from Whitworths marine & leisure, the finish depends on how good you are.

So much stuff has decided to arrive all at once, I plan to do the installs as efficiently as possible. The new 52mm radiator should be in by end of next week, ill then do the coolant re-route and add the Tridon High flow thermostat i got from Mania. And ill be using 80% Water, 20% Coolant and some water wetter.

Got my COP kit made by PureMx5 which is great if anyone is as bad as i am with electronics. Really neatly made and quality parts used. Installation took about 30 seconds!

At the moment im trying to remove as much weight as possible. Cutting the two teeth on the rear, and rear parts of the rear wheel well. Dash will come out soon and the frame will get trimmed. Also looking to cut out the web supports on the boot whilst still keeping the latch. Removed Hood latch and got some el cheapo hood pins, considering cutting out the hood webs too but just thinking if the popo pops the bonnet hes gonna set it all missing :S.

Oh and definately going to slightly gut the doors while trying to keep the power windows and door handles. Ive currently removed the soft top with the hardtop on. Carpets are gone only floor mats left, no radio, p/s or A/c.

Is there anywhere else i can lose weight from?

At the moment things are going at such a slow pace, the goal to finish by July 15th definately went out the window haha!

I haven't got much free time due to work but going to take a weekend off to get alot done! >=D

Here a pic of my gear all waiting to be put in! so much work, so little time

Apologies i know my details dont flow ha
