Thanks, I would have no real accurate figure though. Iv been at it for a couple of years now and a few missteps along the way. I bought all sorts of stuff I never used in the end, but these are not mistakes I would make again.

Anyway, my current estimate is somewhere between £A.LOT and £F,LOADS...

That is, BY FAR the best logo of the bunch. It's brilliant. And I've been a logo/branding guy since 1994.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is excellence.

I'm gonna pile on the wrench-rocket-tail logo accolades. It's a good one.

Agreed. At least I can see a rocket and wrench. This one works.

BTW, shouldn't it be "Rocket Spanner"? ; )

A week ago I was invited to Goodwood Festival of Speed, so we only had a week to cobble her together.

Now that's I've had some sleep, there are a lot of things we discovered over the weekend that need fixing:

1. Rear window seals still don't seal. I'll need and exploded diagram of the windows to check if I've missed a step.
2. Door seals came unstuck so ripping them all out and starting again. Will need the diagram again to check I'm not missing something.
3. Old fuel needs draining.
4. Electric windows stick.
5. Stereo keeps popping fuses.
6. Seat rails are not good and need upgrading.
7. The rear seat Delete is fine, but lined with a fabric that is too black and too fluffy.
8. Hard wearing over rugs required in the footwells.
9. Need clear lenses for the rear light cluster and front indicators (help!)
10. Finally, the bloody annoying Euro headlights refused to attach to the light sockets last week. This has been an ongoing saga. Am I doing something wrong?

I'll have a go at number 10. This is quite a common problem so you are not alone. The headlight is secured at the top of the bowl by a small lip. First of all locate the headlight on the lip and whilst exerting a downward force lower the rest of the light into the bowl. Keep pushing downward whilst you screw the locating bolt fully home. This always works for me, even when I have fitted new seals.

Good luck

Ian
