Looks an exceptionally professional piece of work

I've been playing with the Arduino development board for a while now, learning about what it can do and designing a couple of programs, but that board looks tremendous in comparison to where I am at

Well none of it is to do with me.

I just have geeky friends lol

First one out the mould

New woven glass fibre trial. Opposed to using chopped strand matting

This door card weighs about 100 grams and is miles stronger than chopped strand

£4.88 a metre opposed to £28.88 for carbon

I'd probably use epoxy resin instead of polyester for body panels for a bit more strength.

Carbon fibre looks gorgeous but I can't justify the extra money for a minimal disadvantage in strength compared to twill weave glass fibre

Lol. Yeah. I must admit Sarah did 99% of ours. I just said I do at the beggining...then fell in the bush at the end at the day.

Well I don't really have anything to say on this...... and I really shouldn't comment as the concept of my rotus is exactly the same.

But there are some things you cannot un-see

Its a running driving conversion so somebody done the wrench time which deserves respect.
Dutton in the same group as locost mind so i think asking price a little optimistic and more than i sold westy for. Dont think roadlegal either...

It already crashed into an ugly wall

At least your westy was appealing

Nor very exciting but progress is progress

Going forward with the door cards, got the door openers and internal locking sorted with the new door cards

Lots of elbow room for steering but denied any window (polycarbonate) winding down.

I do have a door pocket and a beer holder though
