It looks brilliant. Cant wait to see it all bolted back together. Cheers.

Wow. That is a colour. I like it, and my second favourite is bright lime green. It's looking good. Can't wait to see the finished result.

Reminds me of my favouretest ever car:

John...What can i say..Looks awesome..Maybe a nice chocolate interior..Theres nowt wrong with a chocolate orange..I just can't eat them anymore..Im a firm believer in that certain cars should look like you could eat them..Wedges are no exception...I would love a finished pic for the Wedge calendar ..Just no other cars or people..Even if its parked outside the workshop..Deadline for the calendar is the 3rd week of November...Cant wait also to see it...Cheers..Ziga

Looking pretty damned good, you knicked my colour as well so I'll just have to back to the drawing board. Nice to have the space the skill and mind set to plough through that little lot, you are welcome I'm sure to take on all the other wedges and fix em after all now you've mastered your way around one the rest will be much easier. ??

The bar looks to be a very tight fit before it's been trimmed /foam wrapped etc.

Looking good
