With the run up to Stoneleigh and the Kobra going into production, the SWB progress has slowed somewhat, but we will be back up to speed after the show and a much needed holiday.

Will you have a SWB 'work in progress' at Stoneleigh?
I'm quite drawn to this one, I think it's going to really work.

The Kobra looks great now it is painted (the blue one) so looking forward to see this one finished and painted before I decide which one to go for :-)

Is the plan to use the BMW doors as is, or to re-skin them?

We are planning to retain the Z3 doors and over skin them.

Here's an idea that may or may not work, replacing the side windows on a Z3 softtop with one's from the "coupe". I need to do some photoshopping....
Filling on the wooden buck is still plodding on, pun intended!

If you knew of anyone could adapt a mold ;-) so as to shorten and use cut outs to vary the size of the vents and bar across.

Good find. The rear of the glass looks much too high though for the roof line of the Swb. But if the window runners allow it to be that angle at the rear what about one made from polycarbonate?

But if it fits with the glass a bit lower in the door is that a real problem? Much better than plastic ones surely!
