Started remaking the floor section, made templates for the floor, and cut away the inner roof skin to reveal the second skin to be welded.

Sorry for the huge amount of pictures, i guess i should have started a thread straight away but just never got round to it.

The shell now needs the seams stitch welded inside before the roll cage is made and welded in which will be very extensive.

I have some Kevlar Cobra Suzuka seats coming for it which should be here this week, so i will be able to get on with making the seat bars to get them mounted in place.

Its coming on well i would say.

Here is the finished article:

Home built floor so you can use the space upstairs.

The car hasn't been on a jig, but it has measured, measured and measured some more, so its as good as it can be!

your garage is truly awesome, as is the car that is been created and indeed the raleigh sign on the wall.
didnt the original sports use various audi panels rather than all from one model, seem to remember the roof coming from a saloon perhaps??
