I think we've run out of parts  :( the post man was supposed to bring new seat belts today but  :(

I'm attempting to polish the wheels but I'm not sure I have the patience  :(

I started with the hub caps last night, 1 down - 4 to go. (Spot the difference)



Got those done, so started on the rest of the wheel today.

Before... (with the shiny centre cap)





After...



It's still not the best though  :(



At least I had a helper  :)

Not bad at all Hazel.  Positively blingtastic by my standards.   ;-)up

It'll do for now. At least one wheel is looking good, 3 more to go.  ::)

I think they were the biggest bargain of the build (apart from the freebies I had  ;D )

I did consider it. I really like the style of Lovebug's buggy, black and orange.



My roll bar is black, but then I guess I could change that  ???

Going off-road? This looked higher in 'real-life' than in the pic  :-\

Roll bar is gooooing in!



Held in by string?





Ta-da!




Seat belt numero uno







^^ Dad had an after thought, we should have got rid of that bump just behind the inertia wheel wheel, to put the inertia wheel  ???



My recent after thought is that we should have bolted the shell down with bolts that look similar to the rivets on my wheels, hey-ho, I guess you learn from experience!  :P

How's the tank fitting, clearance wise on the steering rack ?
