Default candy s1/xr update

some fresh pics people

all the welding has been sorted

[imghttp://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f213/rightstuff1/stage%201%20restoration/P5020129.jpg[/img]

me



and my ol' pops on the lovely sanding,smoothing duties!!!!!!!
sometimes i fell i wish i didnt decide to go this extreme



got a bit further with the rear panel



stared to smooth the battery area



inner wing is very nearly there now
the smoothing of the strut was a nightmare to get looking right



tryed a test fit of my custom fusion cage/strut brace
to be honest im not 100% happy with the fit .where it meets the wheel arch.will have to sort it as its way out oh, and theres still loads to do in the rear panelling department yet to get it finished and looking flush so dont worry yet





oh and for the comments made about it going to look pink,well this is what it looks like in the tin,and that is pretty much the colour the car will end up



i cant make up my mind wether to get these re-trimmed,or go and buy a new set



me taking a break from the sanding
(can you tell the fuel has got old where the bikes been sitting for months lol lol

Any pics of that cage yet mate?

Also wanted to know what size your old rims were (The ones from the Urban Racing Orion), i.e Size, Offset etc?

Thanks
