Those bonded in rear quarters look good Jon. What you doing with the openers? Can I have first dabs on them?

Thanks David,

ive binned them - no only joking :D , will probably keep them as spares cos i dont have a spare set of fixed windows , i know they are rare so no harm in holding onto them for a while - but sure , if i need to get rid of them i will contact you first.

I've got a pair fitted to my car but one of the catches is a bit weak.

Hi Jon
Just got round to reading this post and realised it was your car I was in ore of at billing.
I actually thought it was a prototype car as it was so different.
You have done an amazing job building it and I can't wait to bump into you at a show to have a chat.
Massive well done from me

thanks for the comments , its nice to hear :D . though not to the purists tastes , its just my take on what it could have been if the low drag concept was taken a bit further .
