Hi Steve,
Nice to see that things are progressing well. Snap! I'm 6'2" as well. I was initially quite concerned that I couldn't fit. It wasn't helped by a visit to Matty's in 2002. I tried to sit in a FHC with a Spyder roll cage in it. It wasn't an encouraging start. Like you, I find that there is plenty of space. The same goes for my S2 Europa. After reading all the contemporary road tests you would come to the conclusion that anyone over 5'10" should forget about owning one. Whilst not as spacious as the Elan, I do fit and the seat are very comfortable.
All the best with the re-spray and recommissioning.
Regards,
