far from it mate , ive a few skills ive picked up over the years , but not to the point where this is plain sailing , some of it is just trial and error but just going into it with a little caution ,

honestly it aint rocket science , it more of a case of looking at it from all angles throwing an idea in and working through it ,

but it does help when karl knows what hes doing and wennys on the other end of a phonecall lol ,


as i keep being told its only metal , everything can be replaced

yeah theres a host of options,


ideally id like new bilstiens but with the fact its a road car i think gaz or avo will suffice ,

can always uprate at a later date ,

tempted to go for avos i prefer the black bodies to the blingy gaz tubes, lol

ok lil update from today ,

been sticking with getting the bulkhead wrapped up ,

so fettled the panel a little more


then offerd it back in to mark the vertical section




plan is to cut below the line , then we will dolly flat the pressed sections for welding

excess chopped





and panel bk on




and from below/inside




so i then prepped the panel for welding



and then mocked in the heater box and mk 3 battery tray




will be fettled for best fit , but i like it more than the cossie tray




another bright spark moment from beefy devolopments !!
