Finished off the last remaining items to "restore" after registration and took it for a first street-legal test drive now that registration plates arrived two days ago!

1. Mounted front license plate

2. Made a steering wheel adapter that puts it further back. This is just temporary as I needed something quick and right now. I'll have an aluminium one made up later that will look better. For now, this will have to do.

3. Removed extra silencer. It looks really crappy this way with all the brackets. I'll have one of the joints welded in awhile but for now, this will have to do.

4. Mounted aero-screen. For umpteenth time I had to "adjust" the holes. At least it looks good and the colored screen really matches with the black seats and black rollbar. Black wheels also add to the feeling.

5. Seats are mounted. They're from http://www.motordrive.co.uk and are the "Seven special wide" version.
