Nice too see your still at it

I like the way you have made all chassis parts form the front and rear cross members yourself. I'm going to be doing a mk3 cossie and been looking at other conversions and everyone seems to use the sierra chassis instead which is what i was going to do, but i may try and do it this way! Your fab skills are top notch! This should be an awesome car when its done!
