I am looking for photos and advice on the lowered floors for a Caterham. Has anyone added this themselves? I am looking at the widsheild frame in a normal driving position and would like to lower the floors during our "downtime" weather here in Minnesota.

Recently joined the group due to encouragement from Al N et al from se7ens.net. After deciding I needed a Se7en in 1973 I finally got to the point in life I could; so I purchased an S3 kit from Chris at Sevens & Elans a year ago (11/05), picked it up in a U-Haul in Boston and hauled it back to Minnesota. Construction began New Year's Day, engine was started and car was driven for the first time on Memorial Day. My first drive (or ride)in a se7en (to that point I had only seen them as race cars and sat in one Chris had in a trailer). Having been crew chief for Paul Brand's EP National Champ MGB in the early 80's, a lifelong serious motorhead and as an R&D Engineer working on everything from M1 tanks to semiconductor processing equipmnent and plastic disposable medical devices the build was pretty straight forward. After driving the car around the block 3 times on Memorial Day it was put into a trailer and hauled out to Lime Rock Park for a drivers school. What a surprise to my ride along instructor Gary after encouraging me to take it to 110 on the front straight when afterwards he saw the odometer showed all of 22 miles. First thing out of his mouth was "the car was rock solid". As soon as I can figure out how to post a picture to share I will pass on a photo of "cool blue" (71 Vega Mediteranian Blue).

Coming from usa@se7ens.net - many familiar names

Another newbie - from Minnesota. Likely had the last drive of the season today (nearly 70 today expect low 30's tomorrow). Caterham S3 completed in May SVT 2 liter.
