Plan on cutting the clear one down like this.
That way it will be 100% road legal & not require wipers.
The other will be 'occasional' use!

Well that's about half a bag of plaster and around 15 litres of vermiculite so far.

Just about to make a start on the steering, but in a bit of a quandary.
Do you think I could use the original VW Beetle steering box, re-positioned in the centre, although this will require some minor cutting of the floor pan.
Therefore giving me 2 points for keeping the steering.
Would the 'very minor' trimming of the floor pan really be noticed??

Top is all sorted and working.
Took the body off last night to install the steering, think I'm going with the original VW steering box, moved to the central location.

Starting to think about seating now.
Initially tried a single 200N linear actuator, just about raised the top, but the motor wouldn't hold it there and sort of 'back wound' and sunk miserably back down!!
So have now gone with two 1500N actuators!!!!

ColinHD ā I know Rods ānā Sods is having a few technical problems at the moment.
So it is good to see photos of your build on here.
You really are turning your vision into a reality and it looks great.
Good luck, Paul.

Thanks Paul.
To be honest, wasn't sure that people on here understood my car and it is more of a 'rod' than a 'kit car'
