    Well if the rest of the build proceeds as well as the seat belt change we're in for a treat.

        Those belts really lift this kit interior to another level don’t they. Absolutely shows the value of some aftermarket additions :thumb2:

                          They are fixed either opened or closed same as the rotors witch are also fixed so I am building the folded option as it saves shelf space as well.

                              Great progress Peter.
                              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
