Figured I up-date my progress:
I got the roof on it, the rear fenders,rear storage framing,tailgate latch,back-up/engine repair light,brake light,headlights,dash & 90% of the wiring is complete(just have final connections left to lighting).Scored a set of used Mini Cooper seats for $50. that replaced the raggedy free ones I started with! Engine can be worked on easily from all sides.Got it running and it functions well. It's taking on a look of it's own!!!! For something totally created from scrap material it's functioning the way I wanted. It's sooo easy to get in & out of (removable steering helps even more) Still have lots of fabricating/brain farts
left to complete. My recycle innovation skills are getting honed with this project with little to NO cost.
