Looks great Beef !
I'd of thought using some off the shelf tubs would of been a easier option but whats been done looks great !
Going to be a nice motor once its completed

its 6 n 2 -3s billy regards the cutting , but rember you would still have to add with to the tubs ect , so this was imho is more thorough , allows you to chec and tweak evrything as it goes in for a complete look ,
also the idea of removing the legs ect allowed us to blast them , thus removing any rot lurking in the inside , and making sure its 1000% rot free, even in the places you cant see,
been thinking about this for the last day or so and as after discussions with k the tanks going in the boot ,
im thinking about a carbon undertray for the rear , just to be a little different ,
now dont want to look garish or ott , but had the idea off a escos i saw recently lol ,
sometheing like this ?
black line shows where i would cut the back panel , and red lines indicate vertical cf wings
similar to this ?
idea would be to knock it up in thin ply and send it to phil , or but the sheet in and cut bond and make ourselves ,
opinions ?

apologies i thought id txt ya lol
take me bk to my school days
yeah deffo johnny , they would of been done in a afternoon ,
but karl dont work like that lol , he like the idea of making it look a factory fit and finish ,
its time consuming and a guess it can seem pointless some times to folks
but the end results speak for themselves ,

todays update ,
will have to forgive i aint got pics of the chassis legs going bk in , there on karls mobile , and well you all know what a chassis leg looks like ,
anyways as seaid yesterday , the steel was bought for the boot floor , it it was cut to rough size and then marked out for the swages ,
well , this morning came and with a sufficent stand made for the swager , and a full squad we got cracking !!
so k and graham had the duties of keepit it alligned , and a was the organ grinder lol
some pics ,
and about 30 min later
and talk about measure twice cut once
perfect fit
its had 4 large swages across the middle and 4 smaller ones to the sides the top ones been spaced to hopefully suit the box section going in for the wrc cradel mount
smaller ones
and how it looks underneath
so while k got on with final fit i started welding up the bay
box brace between turrets removed
and a start made
had to cut it short as gas was low and we needed it for the boot ,
sooooooooooooooo...............
plug weld holes were marked and drilled
and " karl fritzl "
got under to final check the fit
" let me out !!! "
panel was then oxided up , light coat and good thick coat where it would be inside the chassis legs ,
and with that , k and graham decided this was a fitting wrapper for me
pmsl
so it was on with the welding
check out the fit
inner arch to floor was spotwelded and oxided
and the end result.................... just needs plug welds linishing bk and oxiding
what you think ?
personally i think its fucking pukka ,
big thanks to k and g for all there hard work today
