Blimey the memories.
My 100e was less than 5years old & still modern :cry:, 1172cc side valve, when I owned it. Love the conversions to these classic shaped cars, looks as if it will be a well Specced car, I wish you all the best with it Cheers Rod |

This is going to be one fun little car. Cant wait to see more updates. Gotta love retro stuff with modern twists

Thanks for the nice comments :) as fudge said i am a fabricator for a living which definately helps. I am hoping to trailer it into the workshop at work in the enxt couple of weeks to do all the welding on the rear and also try and get the tunnel/bulkhead all finished in one hit. Will then be back onto the front suspension again to finalise the spec of that :)
Cheers Dan |

thanks a lot for the comments people :) im quite liking how it looks on the wheels. As its in at our workshop i have done a little bit of work on it today and tonight. Got a little bit of the tunnel done :)
|
Any ideas on colour schemes yet?
Not overly keen on the modern wheels either, needs to stay retro imo Work quality is stunning though. Keep going! |
loving the update like the old style wheels but maybe get them powdercoated in a contrasting colour

I have got some ideas about colour, possibly a blue as my girlfriend has approved that :D the wheels i think will be staying but will be powdercoated a dark colour :)
Well the last couple of days ive put a few hours in on the car, have made some fairly good progress. I hate making bulkheads, they just are a headfuck trying to get thigns in the right places. Anyway here are some pics Attachment 108129 Attachment 108130 Attachment 108131 Attachment 108132 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...e/DSC00723.jpg Attachment 108133 Attachment 108134 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...e/DSC00729.jpg Attachment 108135 Attachment 108136 Thanks for looking :) Dan |
