Cheers pal. I was hoping you'd be up for a bit of spanner work on it. Thought if you were over Notts way seeing your mum you could pop over. That's if she still has the pub?

Well it's being collected next week then it's off for paint. Once it's back Kev you're more than welcome over here. Bring some spare skippies and get your head down for the night.

Anyway the pedal box is done. Just the inlet to go now.

Oh and the spring arm replacements are finished too. Lugs for the bladed ARB and a bit of strengthening added.

Glad the thread is on here jon - saw some updates on the mk1frsoc but couldn't see the photos as I'm not paid up.

Sent you a text the other day too but you must be too busy alone in a dark room checking out this weld porn 😂

Thanks Mark. Yeah he's done me proud. It's home now and in for interior paint. It's then home to mine for me to sort the underside. It will then get fitted out very quickly.
It's been worth the wait.
What's happening with your fleet?

Weekend updates in the shape of paint preparation. I'm staying with the Matt dark grey colour. Internal welds are being covered in brush on sealer where necessary. Marks welds are great but previous work left it a little scarred.

Good question mate come to a dead stop with the shell conv its been away best part of 3 yrs i had decided to carry on with other parts of the build as it was taking so long but with the parts costing so much ive decided to wait for some kind of progress as if it doesnt happen i dont want to be seriously out of pocket selling new parts for half thier value hard to stay focused mate the conversion is key to it all
