yes mate, an ally tank would be a real nice addition! if you can get one before i next come over we could maybe sink it through the boot floor, lower the centre of gravity a little..... the posibilites are endless!

 

 

Spot on work, very impressed and a damn good advert for your services.

Got the car out the garage today to spin it round for work to begin on the passenger side in a week or two. Thanks to Kean for the assistance :)

Car's been sat for a while again while I've been busy saving and working away a lot but managed to get some garage time today and a trip to minispares so got some work done.
 
got the car out and cleared my garage ready to start building :)

Got a little bit done this weekend. Feels like I'm getting somewhere now even if it's created a load more jobs that need sorting.

Not hugely impressed with the angle of the shocks so going to lift the top mounts a bit and then make a new lower mount to kick it out towards the wheel a bit more.

Mmmm that's low.

I really like the fit of the special arches with those wide wellers and the tubbed arches.

How low are you planning to run it? Going to leave much arch gap?

Cheers dude, probably going to have to ditch the arches though, will see how far they stick out when the new wheels go on.

 

Planning on running it as low as possible, with as little arch gap as possible. it's on the bump stops all the way round at the minute so will come up slightly, but not much.
