Martin don’t you think this has run its course now, I mean actually how many pages are dedicated to the car showing its progress etc to which people want to log on and look at, if chip and others want to continue on throwing testosterone about let them and start a new thread, as im keen to look at a thread on the car not people all trying to have the last word, your issues have been aired along with everyone else’s, time to move on and show us all some progress and pics.

I'm not too bothered right now as there won't be an update on the cars progress for a few days, at that point I will get it cleaned up.

martin i am fitting a saph rear beam and antiroll bar to my 3 door.

is it just a case of drilling 2 new holes for the anti roll bar brackets because the 3 door are in a different place?

are you considering poly bushing the rear end martin?

as for mounts for the 3 door, better to make up a bit of box section to fit up as the captive nut needs to be inside the box section and you can simply weld this to the bottom of the car

You can probably do it that way but I used the proper panel from a Sapphire .... I will take some better pics, its quite easy to do.

So just shut up bitching! bitches.

I don't think anyone is having a fight as such, just differing opinions (when there should only be one!) but by adding your 2p you are just prolonging the agony. So maybe its best left alone now.

maybe its time for the mods to lock this thread.

Martin surly you get pi$$ed with knowing its more than likely more negativity evey time you come on here.
start again with a new rebuild thread. any negative comments in relation to this thread should then be deleted.

Come on we ALL know your awesome at what you do and thats what MOST of us want to be reading about.

martin, as the "owner" of the thread you can lock it

i'm not sure if you can unlock it again afterwards to post new stuff up as and when it happens, but i'm sure someone wul db able to sort thigns out for you in order to do this

or perhaps pm a mod with the new update you wish to put up and that way it's purely your thread

Fuck me Martin, not checked the thread in months and just seen this Gutted for you it must be heart wrenching to have to redo this I also feel for Jacko too!
I have an opinion on it but im not saying nothing, far too much bitching gone off by third parties as it is! Hope you get it all sorted soon pal and enjoy the rest of the build and useage!
One thing i will say is, Does Chip keep his sneck out of ANYTHING?

worded that wrong, arch roller was dead on, just the shonky old rusty arches

started rolling and it was tucking under nicely, but got to a rusty patch and the paint just started cracking so thought it would be best not to go for it as i dont wanna paint my arches
