Red (anodised) wheel nuts & valve cap with the RTR supplied MEV centre cap decal was my initial thoughts.
The bonnet latch was going to be secured to the radiator cap (2mm plate with a hoop self tapped to the ears of the cap)

Got the tyres refitted tonight (in the freezing cold).  Found some red wheel nuts, to complement the red anodised dust caps, which I'll collect this week. Filed wheel centre caps, just awaiting email response from RTR for the diameter of the stickers advertised on their web site. Re-cutting firewall. DOT 4 label (from DAX via eBay) stuck on master cylinder (not sure if over kill as there is a small label on already). |

Rear brake pads all rebuilt, may need to change the hand brake cable routing. Did any one p clip the hand brake cable in place ?
Wing stays all sorted & wheels refitted.
Connected up rear ABS Harness (I couldn't find one of the connectors).
Mounted the cut down tube frame under rear sub frame, just struggling to align one hole.
Drilled & fitted seats, with the fibreglass seats looks like there is plenty of storage space behind.

Tim
I only secured each handbrake cable to the rear subframes in two places,( so 4 in total )They are pretty rigid and hold themselves in place.

Tim.. Please detail the bolt for the brace everything else on car is 4.0 Your tool bag turned out nice Your mum did a
great job on it.. Are you going to have any problems with the seat belt reel for sharp edges and upper bracket or not covered..Maybe a small premade plastic box from a hobby shop cut and notched to conceal it..
