Weather gear or not?

I think that upgraditis has set in :-), first it was the seat belts now after setting my mind on keeping the car simple and going with an aero screen, I am now pondering getting the weather gear, screen roof and doors. I know that it would make the car so much more practical. I think that after 10 mins with an areoscreen the wife would not be too happy,…….I can see another call to doug is on the way.

In preparation for the cars arrival i have given the garage a once over, painted the floor fitted some new bright lighting and sorted out some tools. Nearly ready i think. Although building it in jan/feb its going to be blinking cold in there so some sort of heating is next on the list to sort out.

Paint colour changes

Well after some thought I have spoken to doug at caterham midlands and changed the paint colour  from caterham blue to black. At first i think that i thought the new colour would suit the car well but after showing the family it just didn't go down too well so a quick vote and black won!

I have also asked for the seat belts to be changed from the standard black inertia belts to 4 point quick release harness in red, doug thought that HQ might not accept this colour with the car, I've no idea why not but i'll have to wait and see. If its a no then i think i'll fit the standard ones first register the car and then order the red harness,..

And as i thought w/c 17 jan 15 is production date at caterham with kit delivery 3 weeks after! looks like i'm going to have to be a bit more patient!!
