I have also fitted my halfhood today, but to drive with it I need to get rid of seat runners, as they add up approx 2cm  and its too high for me with this roof 😕 - poor visibility in front and touching hood with head.

I don't think I've ever seen rear wheel arch 'enclosures' like that before, great idea!

Managed to do over hour  ride - first time with doors attached

Its for sure less cold inside than with Lexan side wind deflectors. Warm from heater is like "keept inside cockpit" , outside arm and shoulder not frozen .

And a little easier to talk with passanger. 

But.. soo tight!  lot of joy gone 😕

And dont know why ? - more exhaust fumes smell especialy in passanger side (exhaust is on driver side) , strange.

I’ve found half doors and wind deflectors a decent option to reduce buffeting and keep it a little warmer. It still restricts elbow room, but shoulders are not constrained.

I was tip toeing on the way due to the cold and damp roads, but had dried up enough on the way home to unleash the VTEC 😂

Winter tinkering complete! just two ball joints and the most thorough clean i think shes had since i had it (8years) I got a DA for xmas so gave it a go. It has not got rid of the bigger marks as I did not know what i was doing so went cautious, but it got rid of the washing swirls of the slap a wash mit over it job that i like to do😜. I removed side stripes as they were starting to show there age but have added some decals this year. RL200 is the engine spec being a zetec r from Raceline. I was a little unsure of how they would come out but think it works well to break up the blue. Super happy with how its come out 👍 roll on summer!

First runout with half doors fitted. Surprised how much they reduce turbulence in the cockpit. Apologies to  Stuart Davies for the blatant copying. Didn’t keep my head any warmer though.

I've found Sevens with windscreens have terrible buffeting. Unless you fit doors, or deflectors of course. My aeroscreen-only car has no buffeting at all. Obviously in rain it's hopeless but then I only take it out in the dry so all's good.
