That is looking awesome I bet your glad you kept it?
What have you used to trim the tops of chassis by seats?

I'm hoping to collect my body work in the next 3-4 weeks I'm desperate to crack on as im slowly falling out of love with my build.

Where you getting your arches from?

Gary

Yes, every time I look at it feels like the right thing to keep it.

The arches are coming from Vmax. Its been a while but I understand we're moving forward now.

That black trim is this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tinksky-L-s...3D197K0CYB47GP as I had some left over from baby proofing some bits. Its not the best, I just tried it for the sake of it.

Could anyone kindly measure the length of their shocks when sat on the ground at normal road height?

I need to make some dummy shocks at these lengths you see.

Cheers for link is it up to the job or are you going to try something different?

Sorry I ment carbon arches does help if I put that doh

Gary

[norton]

It'll do the job but it looks cheap. I was going to use some ally angle that is then upholstered to do it properly. I have some parts accrued to make a roller to form some angle into a curve for the bits over the arches.

looking nice mate, keep cracking on and you will be on the road in no time

[norton]

Thanks buddy, I'll keep at it, the excitement for it is still very much alive and kicking. Any updates on yours?

[norton]

Can anyone point me towards a supplier of rivets with extra large flange black rivets for my front arches?
