ok peeps ill answer all the questions ,after ive posted todays update


lol sundays dont stop the spesh !!! so they dont stop me either

so with the flor sections all welded in it was time for the bit ive been looking forward to




REMOVING THE CROSS BRACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k set too it wilst i stood giggling





really is a big step that the cars moving forward for me , hated seeing it in there , car hasnt shifted a single mm since removal


so with that done and wanting to finsih up the structural elements of the car , we got on sorting the front floorpan to lower a pillar section

this .....





so first thing first between the sections was cleaned and hooverd out and coated with red



k has always had a game plan on how to finish this so he wasted no time ...... butane torch was fired up



bit of dollying




i though it was going to be lots of cutting and adding plates , he simply heated it to super hot and dollyied it to shape



then as the gap between the mk inner winf and the cos floor was a little too wide under the batt tray , a filler angle was made up to fill the gap



then it was welded up , ground back and coated




and k gave it a coat of high build to make it a bit easy to see in the pics ,




and how they now flow seamlessly




once its got some bruish sealer you shouldnt know whats what

better that welding a lump of angle in lol


so with that done , rather than set up on the other side we decided to get on with sorting the inner wing

how it looked



you can see the tape highlights the curve of the cos inner and the excess of the o.e mk 3 ...

so k got the grinder out and trimmed it down



bit of red in the back



then the trusty torch was back lol




schTIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG

then it was on with where they meet at the bottom

before




bit of cutting , heat and folding




and in primer , ready for a coat of spray sealer




and with the time getting on i had to leave but k cracked on with welding up the rear sections






all ready to be ground off

really chuffed , the progress is flying , i cant keep up lol

cant thank spesh enough ,make it look so fucking easy lol ,




ohh , and got these st 170 optional upgrade lux seats for the car , but on fitting there too wide lol



its way to much hassel to mod the bases as there intergrated ,

so if anyones intrested ive got the pair of fronts and the leather for the rears, headrests and doorcards , drop me a pm or check the st170 for sale section

iTrader: (6)

ive no idea crumpet ,


just going to check ebay for lm's

WENNY

yes you can ive seen a set forsale recently but only 15`s

wirralphil

Mainly reps on ebay, also they only go to 9inch wide for 18's with a PCD od 5 X 100.

crumpet

ive bought some reps in the past, DONT, theyre 4x100+4x108 but dont fit ford or pug etc! centerbore is too small, and they chip really easily!

Still better than lensos though

If yous keep this up it will be done for central day

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

wont be completed , me and k have discussed options for central ,


considering having the full car painted, building up the exterior ( kit lights ,decals , stripes , glasss ect )and fitting the running gear but leaving the complete interior out so folk can see whats involved and the quality of fab work before a carpet covers it .


kinda displays k's skills and advertises what he can do
