O the joy of kitcars this is what happens when you fit the dash then the seats and find you can't see them for the wheel all done can see the speedo now took me a day to make my exhaust and cost me the grand total of about £80 I'm quite pleased with it the only thing is heat wrap stinks when you get it made a couple of covers for the engine mounts a bit of rubber mat and some vinyl make things look a bit tidier
