Can't you use 3dr hubs? Don't they have a quicker turn in speed compared to that of a 2wd Saph?

Got the ropey DIY chassis spit made today, so Andy (From Spraysystems 07962237761 ) can get underneath and blast clean, seam seal and paint the underside before we get to the inside and the rest of the bodywork.



Caught Andy doodling in the dust!


Then I got caught doodling in the dust



Massive shout out and thanks the Andy and Gaz and John (Ians dad!) for helping us out today, lifting the shell onto the spit and wotnot, most of all to Andy for letting us tit about with a welder and a grinder while he was trying to prep and paint a Porker 911 and a 2006 Scooby WRX
Its hopefully gonna start moving pretty quickly now, as soon as the underside is painted, the beam and crossmember can go on, the outside will get some love and then I get to play with the wiring

More updates soon

Turn the stands round mate so that the legs are facing in.......as well as being a trip hazard,they could bend out and snap the bolts and drop the shell .....

alrte rob its not just the stands supporting it we got some other supports round it once we got it on the side we had to have the stands that way so we could get the height to turn it

when do you fink you will have them mounts once underneath is blasted and painted were going to put all the sierra rear end up
cheers mate

Ian got some rally good close ups of the fab work:










Day was spent tidying up little bits and bob, taking off brackets that were for the focus brake line and fuel lines etc.

Andy had a play with his new blaster too:





More pics to come soon

Not even got any primer on it yet!! Had loads of niggly little bits to sort out first. Should be getting blasted sometime in the next couple of weeks though if Andy (@ Spraysystems 07962237761 ) gets time between the million and one other jobs he's got on
As for your guess............................
















Wait and see
