Time attack it is. Modified class in finland. Car must be raoad legal or close to that. 8cm ground clearance, weld in roll cage, racing seats, 6-point harness, h-pattern gearbox, road legal tires etc. Some aero mods are ok. No flat floor.

 Door cards are finally ready to bolt on ? Not the best result, but still happy. Now thinking that I should do them different way from the beginning, but not this time. Maybe if things start to bother me too much. 

Removed that duck tail spoiler, what was for stock boot lid and didn't fit at all. Thinking different style and maybe better spoiler there.

Little break from fiber glass s*hit and welkome elektrick s*hit ?

Light and wiper controls are long gone from original places.

Ewerything is now in centre consol.

Only horn and side indicator swtches are behind the wheel.

These are possible to add there by using original spiral. There is 4 places for wires and 1 was allready for horn and 2 is easy to take in use. 

Started to do wiring last time. Main power cable is in it's place now. I used green garden hose for extra cover. That green garden hose is so ungly that I'm going to cover that with light nylon sleeve. 

Also that wiring harnes from dash to boot is almost done. It would be done, but I forgot 2 cables from there (sometimes dpin things too fast and forget something)? Used old cables as long as possible. Took everything what I don't need out and add some new cables. There is only rear lights and original fuel pump cables left from old harness. And new cables for fog light, electronic main power switch conroll, second fuel pump and fuel cooler fan.

And I had also my 29th birthday here a week ago. And my wife had bought Cube premium shifter as birthday present ? Had to bolt it on right away and it feels awesome.

I foun company from here Finland who can do spiral cable at steering column for me. So I did new switch panel behind the wheel. There is now switches for high beams and wind skreen washer also. And I can get rid of that terrible original spiral box. 

 

Also did door harnesses ready. Only power window cdles left in doors. Also shortened those cables to suit better for my application. 

Lowered front suspension, adjusted camper and bolt front stapilizer on. Also fitted horns behind right head light.

Found out that my glass fiber door cards didn't fit too good and they are f*cking heavy too. So I dumped them away and made aluminium ones. I'll fit tham in with pop rivets and will just hammer them to dit around roolcage. (No photo today) 

And also used some time outside and made air vent on the bonnet. Angle grinder was allready warm so I took few kilos off the bonnet too. Painted edges to keep rust off. Aaaand also found some old paints and used tose for doing some art.

Finished door cards. I felt my self stupid with window electricks. I had issues with passenger side power window. I took door card off and there was nothing wrong. Another try and everything works great. I think only issue was that child lock button at drivers window switch. It was at wrong position... 

Taped driver side floor with some anti slip tape.

Did adjustable suport rods for head lights.

Picked up valve covers and breather can from welder. Started to grind old paint of them.

 

And last. Who else hates mice? I do..

Painted valve covers, breather tank and thermostat cover yellow 2 months ago...

 

And today I was adding few stickers on..

And bolted new yellow door handles 😂

 

 

And also got something real done too. Bolted rain/fog light on the rear bumper. Did wiring for it and finished also wirin harnes for rear lights. And test fitted new spoiler. Only need to figure out how I do wing maunts. I need to get boot open easily. It is light fiber glass lid so it can be lifted off easily. But it won't hold that wing on top. Any good ideas for that wing?

Left side rear quarter is almost ready for fibers. I'll do those fiber parts without molds. Only laminating on top off that foam and then cutting off foams and sheet metall from under side. (Saves time and money and timeattack car does not need new body parts after every race). I'm not sure yet if I'll use carbon or glass. 

 

I'm also making smoothing for bonnet went edges.

 

And new mirrors are bolted on. They are at different places becouse that way I get better wision from them. If passenger side would be at original place it would be behind of roll cage tube.
