Default ST Cabriolet!!
Well here it is, my new project- i had the idea a while back and just fancied sumthing real challenging??? My old boys let me have a little time off work to get started with it, which is real nice of him!



It was sat in my shed for ages hence the inch thick coating of dust. Just got bored of the xr lump so i never finished it off???


Thats all for the mo, il post some more once iv butchered it a little more

Thanks for the comments it is really tight, if they'd made certain
things just an inch bigger it wunt be happening!!!! Did some more chopping today n made the front engine mount too, need some after market mounts on either end of engine- has any1 used VIBRA-TECHNICS mounts before, are they any good??
