looks good Dave, careful where you park it when its windy!! mights get blown away!! lol

[DaveB]

it was wobbly on the m62 yesterday

[Tom Williams]

Looks good Dave though do you think those screws are long enough?

[Drizz]

I gather it wont ever be left unattended?

[LongLiveTheNova]

Top work

[DragXE]

Nice work, you could hang your coat on them screws holding the plastic in!!!

[spanishfly]

@ screws! No need for a helmet hammock!

Looking good mate!

[elgan]

looks good. will look even better if you get a black border repainted onto the window edges.

[Jack]

That looks awesome Dave. Considering this was supposed to be a cheap and cheerful sleeper, it certainly looks the part.

How much does all the glass weigh that you've got rid of?

[Benn]

Very cool dude, big weigh saving?
Are you gonmna paint around the edge of the window perspecs?

[astragsi]

what are they made from polycarb or perspecs??

like others have said i would paint around the edge. i also think that you should replace them screws with some kind of bolt, they also wont pertrude as much either.

looks good now btw has changed alot from when you got it

wonder how much it will weight when you get the doors done as well??

[ben21]

Looking good Dave,

Are you making the windows yourself from blank sheet or is it a kit?

Its certainly looking the part now, well done!

[DaveB]

The windows were a proper kit; 4mm FIA polycarbonate, I'd never attempt to make something like this myself, it'd look a dog. It's very very unlikely that the windows will get painted black around the edges as I'm not remotely bothered about how they look.

Drizz, the car will be left unattended at times, but security is sorted, it's just not pictured

No idea how much weight it's lost, there's more to come yet anyway

Thanks for all the comments

Screws won't be replaced either, once they're in they're not coming out. So it doesn't matter. They don't protrude through the tailgate due to the double skinned fibreglass, they only look abit harsh on the rear quarterlights.

[Drizz]

Cool!

[DaveB]

Had planned on fitting aerocatches but there was just no way they'd go on where I wanted them

[Benn]

No flat enough bits then?

[DaveB]

Yes, had an idea worked out and everything. It was the lack of mount points for the pins that ruined it for me. Naemind, will stick em on the 'bay and get some money back for them

[Benn]

Ah ok,

[PERALBOY]

Is it a formed rear screen you have? Or just flat? Looking good, whats next on the diet plan?

[DaveB]

Just flat, forms itself when its fitted really.

Today it was time to fit the front polycarbs, went steady away with the passenger side first. Won't bother showing the drivers side pics, as it's the same, just a different side
















All done I will be removing the door bars when the rest of the cage gets finished later on this month; it won't take long Inside of the doors will also be painted, and the 'edge' where I've cut will be getting a rubber edge fitted to it tomorrow.

Oh, and my bargain cams arrived too

[Benn]

Love the hollow doors, they look hardcore.. slidey bits in the windows look cool. What do the marking on the cams mean?

[Drizz]

Are they just sealed with tiger seal typ stuff around the rubbers?

[DaveB]

Markings on the cams is the model number; Kent Cams AST1612, basically a 'stage 1' type cam. Should give it abit more low down grunt though

They're sealed around the top edge and side with window sealant, and then fixed in place inside the door. It won't leak though, it's actually tighter in the seals than the glass that came out was

[Benn]

Ah cool.

[LongLiveTheNova]

Looks proper 'ard
