Hi. Thanks for the comments. Once I have finished the car I may take commissions, I am not sure it would be cost effective though. Cheers

Finally on the home straight, rear bulkhead and seats loosely fitted. I have decided to panel out the entire c*£$pit in ali, still need to make a new trans tunnel I was thinking of a round one this time. I still need to make up the rest of the windscreen at the sides which gets sandwiched between the fiberglass and the and the aluminium paneling.

Nice neat job.. Aluminum paneling really finishes off the inside nice.

Looking good, on the ali lining to the fibre glass; I'm trying paint first to see how that comes out, will surface prep/fill internals and paint either silver or hammered metal finish. Already gone to round trans tunnel, former is very thin ply and might use the metal cover supplied and then place ply, covered with diamond stitch leather (will get seat manufacturers to do this for me) over top. I too was planning to cover the rear bulkhead, and full length of trans tunnel, to match my seats.

Yes painting the inside will work. Unfortunately I had not thought of it sooner. Cheers

One of the upside of such a slow build is an opportunity to learn from others.
Down side I'd much rather have a finished car.

Loving the car and look you have gone for. While enjoying all the build blogs, yours has been really helping my with making up my mind which kit to build.
