and here is some light info

seats are made from balsa wood...light and easy to shape

bonnet is from aluminium sheet and opens with hinges

headlamp surrounds are in fact aluminium Heineken bottle necks

rear springs replaced with 55mm shocks so I could remove the shock towers.

that's all for now... hope you like
