got inner & outer rear arch on the passengers side 2nite so panel work is almosy done. pics updated soon

GINGExR2 T · 24-08-2009, 10:28 AM

Rear arch looks very tidy mate, does'nt look as bad to to as i thought.

lockesRSparts · 02-10-2009, 06:45 PM

after a long search i finally found a rear panel & it arrived safe last week, i have only offerd it up but plan 2 have it welded inplace ova the weekend

i also had some new seat crosmembers folded up & welded the mounting nut on underside for seat runner & then welded passenger side crossmember in place

& got all passenger seat runners neatly modified & the seat fitted

2morra will see the drivers seat & crossmember fitted & maybe even the rear panel on

retro d · 02-10-2009, 07:13 PM

Nice too see your still at it

andrew johnstone · 03-10-2009, 03:35 PM

I like the way you have made all chassis parts form the front and rear cross members yourself. I'm going to be doing a mk3 cossie and been looking at other conversions and everyone seems to use the sierra chassis instead which is what i was going to do, but i may try and do it this way! Your fab skills are top notch! This should be an awesome car when its done!

CozzyKing · 03-10-2009, 04:32 PM

It looks like you're getting there with it now mate, also looks like you have gone to town on the lightening of the shell.
