Rub , rub , scrub , scrub - that's turned out well .
Bit of elbow grease goes a long way !
So remind me , what are you actually leaving in the bay and what are you tucking away out of sight ?

only the battery(in boot)
horn (under inner wing)
throttle linkage( cable straight into car)

awesome progress there matey. you have been busy.
credit where credit due, you'll love it when you've finished it. sorry if i put ideas in your head, but hey, think of the quality of the kadetts at billing next summer! i was right about one thing tho, you got a real nice shell there. pictures prove that. well done, keep at it.
