He has got the body rubbed down ready for the primer and hopes to maybe have it painted be the end of the week ;D

Posted Image

Hes had to chop the inner wings down a bit so that the front doesn't hit them when lifting

Posted Image

then here are a couple of the hinges and the gas lifters

Just a few things i need to sort for securing the front and bits but Dave thinks that he can see light at the end of the tunnel

Puddings doesnt do things by halfs. If he's gonna uy something, he will look at it and think about it, then remember its his pride and joy and only wants the best.
Hence the best wheels.

Just had a catch up with your project Puds, it's all looking good mate, love the flip front, cant say i've seen one that way round. Cant wait to see it all painted up & shiny!! :thumbsup:

Mines off to be MOT'd in a few weeks & have some suspension tweeks too, so looking forward to getting him back on the road again!!!

Looking great Puddings!

If it wasn't for your project thread I wouldn't even be considering putting a flip front on mine. Out of interest, how much did the front cost you as I notice it's carbon fiber but Curley only give a price for fiber glass on their website. I'd prefer a CF one but it depends on cost really.

Can't wait to see it done.

Just a word of warning about Curly, Dave (body shop guy) is dubious about it being carbon, try and find another place to get one from,
