You're on the way, Kate... but just one question......

How did you do that!

I noted a pic of you actually looking into the back of the camera whilst the pic was being taken........

Thanks Rosco and Enda Blueflash it is one long hard job we are doing must be mad. It is a reflection of Richard taking the picture. It is very challenging but i have Richard helping. But Richard is getting very liberal with the hardener got to keep an eye on him when he is mixing the bog up goes hard on his mixing board before he gets it on the car :oops: :roll: :cry:

Here are some more pictures.

Your doing well Kate.

I'm just catching up on whats been happening over the past few weeks.
I thought you would be finished by now. :D :D :D

But I should know better, its a long slow process.

Keep going, you will have a nice car in the end.
Try not to take too many short cuts or you'll only need to redo it again later.
I really need to try and get over one day, haven't been out for a while. :lol:

Richard is a lucky man, give him more beer I say.
Not sure about anything else he wants, EK will never be finished.

Those big holes in the floor your not sure about. :? :?
Your doing well with the fibreglass, just get big sheet to fix into it. :lol: :lol:
Or maybe some floor sections to weld in, might be better. :? :?
