I heard that modifying the standard subframes makes the seats sit really high up.

So here are a few pictures, sorry they arn't the best, but I couldn't get down the side of the car very well lol:

Posted Image

The side view, looks nice :techsupport:

Posted Image

The gap between the door and the A panel is looking nice and even now :(

Posted Image

Even though the scuttle wasn't involved in the accident, they repaired it as a good will gesture, its not the best though, but its free :crazy:

Posted Image

The rear quarter looking nice and shiney :thumbsup:

Posted Image

A nice new drivers side window, which they chipped :wacko:

So all in all, its looking a hell of a lot better than the last time I saw it, in fact, a lot better since I got it lol.

Yer, wish I could, not taxed or insured, but have decided I'm going to sort the engine out that is in it to get it running right, add the buckets, etc, then will get it back on the road :wacko:

Looks good, we need more full on pictures though :crazy:


I'll get some more full on picture tomorrow, it was hard to get around her to get some good ones, but I'll be moving her tomorrow, to get her more tidily on the drive.

Well I might be able to mod them more to make them sit lower, the only thing is I don't want subframs that are a bit flimbsy like yours, or soething that they are to high and go through the head lining, like yours lol.
