Has anyone got any suspension modeling software beefy can use?
Something we were talking about last night.
Let me know when it's up in the air and I'll pop over.

remember reading somewhere that metallic paint settles differently and gets a different hue depending on the position of the panels on the car hence the body kit having to be painted while positioned vertically and things like hoods, tailgates and spoilers horizontally etc. If you do that it should fit perfect with the rest...not personal experience though so don't hold me to it ![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Crackin work lads, looking forward to seeing that lovely interior in paint!

Stunning, the sort of build i would one day love to take on / acheive.
Massive credit due to all those involved.
Does it matter if the front arches are cut back? Will you not need some clearance for your wheels?

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevening all
just a lil update ,
spoiler now fitted , stu collins sorting me a drivers front arch so just a passenger one needed and a full set of caps !!!
got the interior cleaned out tonight so we can start cleaning and prepping for interior paint , may see some colour by thurs if ya lucky lol
thanks for all the positive comments,
cars getting a full interior , cos front seats , mk 4 rear bench , fully retrimmed
hoping the rims will clear , i dont want to cut the arches , considering dropping to 17s to aid clearance , will see how the mockups look when we get the suspension and rear end in ,
