This is looking great! Pity the bodyshop smoothed over the lip on the bottom of the front valance, it looks a bit funny without it. Love the bare metaling at the start, looks really well done.

to be honest i was unsure at first about the smoothed front panel, but it soon grew on me. its something a little different. Dont think ive seen it done before anywhere ells.

Simply stunning !

Just spent an age from start to finish on this thread and i can honestly say that its the most comprehensive rebuild i've seen so far on here.

Love the colour of the car and i think the red and yellow components work really well.

Awesome work !

Did a Bit today, fitted the brakes... then took them off again.. and also test fitted the wheel over the top of them to make sure it fits... looked quite cool to be honest













So outcome is... other than i will be leaving the car parked on full lock ALL the time, i will certainly be needing arhes. Which is good as i allready drilled the holes for them. Also popped the brake lines in on the front subby! just need a few brake fittings and thats finished also!

bit of progress today

bolted these in



before anyone says the obvious... Yes i know, and i did it for the looks.

secondly managed to put most of the front brake line in... untill i noticed i was short a copper washer... DOH



and also tried out my new nibbler cut a chunk outa the back seat for electrics... very impressed with it for only £7 at machine mart. no pics of that though.

wayyhay nice n clean i want mine to be this clean

Um... first lesson learned today

Good drill bits are indispencible!, the first set i tried where more likely to burn a hole through the metal than drill through it...

Here are pics

This is me with the good drill bit



anyhow
managed this

this is so i can have better mountings for a trigger wheel setup

So did something very scarey today...



Then...



...



...



the hole is for a plasma screen tv.

Actually its for an oil cooler, the reasons for needing one this big etc will be obvious at a later date

Top tip: work out you want a plasma screen under your wing before you have the car painted

Needs some neatening up and finishing , but once its done should be uber nice / clean. Im thinking of putting some Rubber U trim around it?
