I got the soundproofing from ebay , they are @ 10"x8" self adhesive panels

The bonnet scoop is there because the engine sits a little higher than I had planned , so a job for the future is to lower it by a couple of inches and replace the bonnet with one without a scoop

Started fitting the interior , hope to be completed by the weekend
Hope to have the windscreen and tailgate fitted by next week , still a few electrical jobs to do then it's off for MOT

Finally got all the panels on , still a bit of gap adjustment to sort out
Took her out into the sunshine for a couple of photo's

Started to put the panels back on and hook up the lights
Hope to have the rest of the panels back on by the end of the week so I can fit the interior

Now the good weather is here I have been able to spray the car

Finished the wheels and bought new centres and nuts for them
