Dave, good progress on the engine removal, you have been busy. Do you have any plans to upgrade you rad? Lots of suspension parts needing the bufty treatment there, wont be much left to do after this lot!

Your front arches and inner wings look good. I checked one of mine yesterday, which was much the same to my suprise

Looks like you have lots more custom mods to carry out, your bay will be perfect when finished, nice and smooth and subtle like you say.

Keep the updates coming

hope you get the engine tuned up a bit to carry all the filler you will put in it to cover the holes. i have a 100 cc engine you can have more power than that tractor unit you have in there. :top:.
or is it light weight filler.
