going to be great when done ,when do you think its going to be finished

 

No real rush for me dropped off a little , i was mad when i first had it and on it day and night but neglecting the missis and the bab.
Were all much happier now

 

i love these, loadsa character, im not sure what colour id go for, i think the yellow is gd but id be tempted for light grey and a rich blue on this car....bit tired so might be talking out of my arse tho lol

 

very much like me i done all the fab work & got the shell in primer by new years day which was to much to quick ,so i lost a bit of motivation because of it ,but now it takes as long as it takes

 

Not a problem mate. You have quite a list there to do. At least it will keep you busy.

Will have to pop over and have a look at the devastation.

 

i finally got my rear cradle profiles ill get the pics up after tea

 

right here is the pics of the rear cradle pick ups

note that one of the small profiles has reversed R S logo so it can be read correctly from front & back the big profile is reversible.

Great work mate.

I hear you work for coffee?

I have coffee and biscuits waiting for you. Can you come and do some bits on my car please? :0)

 

Also mate. How come you've changed the design twice?

 

ha ha i wish if i had the time ronnie ,but with my car, richies KA,transit tea strainer & the series 1 i think im booked up for a good time yet mate

the first design was the one with the rectangle added to the bottom which just looked like an after thought ,it was ..the second one looked odd as because of the offset 7"diff the two legs coming down ended up at different lengths & looked odd again so i done the third one & i think it looks bloody great imoits a big learning curve to designing suspension that will work & look good .

 

Andy it would of took me three attempts to get it looking like your first one
Looking GOOD

 

thanks dave its a slow process but im getting there besides you fab work looks quiet good so your not that bad mate

 

I got my car flipped over today so the fab work starts again now on the under neath more cutting card board more welding more grinding
I LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

good news dave its going to look great when its done some very good fab work going into your car when i get my engine out ill be taking off the body kit & rolling mine over to finish the under side ,after doing richies its so much easier to work on
