interesting pictures,

i like the way you have done your rear wishbones and the front suspension is very similar to the designs i have for mine.

thanks, they were designed for plenty of adjustment! Instead of using rubber bushes or rose joints we decided to use ball bearings with solid tube in between them.

hey all.
I have uploaded some more photos, starting to attach the bodywork at long last! I have been dreading this bit the most! Cutting into brand new fiberglass, it usually take me 3 attempts on average to get it right! Anyways managed to fit the side panels without too much drama and the rear panel sort of fits. Now need to set the ride height, suspension and fit the right size wheels ill be using before i go any further fitting the wings.

Booked next week off work to try and give it one last push to get it near finished! The electrics are finished, starts first time off the key! switches and dash are all wired and ready to be fitted, lights are wired just need connecting when iv fitted them. Also managed to get a stainless silencer and cat from custom chrome.

Also something you should watch out for, i purchased one of those fancy polished aluminium locking fuel filler neck and cap from demon tweeks, they wont pass IVA because you can take the key out the cap when your filling. I had to bolt a small chain to it so its tethered to the neck

Talking

Well its been a stressful week off work, (wishing i was actually there!) but with some blood, tears and tantrums i finally managed to shoe horn the bodywork into place. I cut some bits i didn't need to but i'm very pleased with how it looks!



Still a long list to do but i'm getting there!
