i know its been done a million times over but im going colour coded to the outside and some real carbon fibre infills

Oh and also changed my mind on having white as the colour im thinking of grey like primer grey gloss and black roof ect with as much carbon as i can throw at the little bits let me know your opinions

SOOOO!! the big update never came just been too busy at work all you lot wanting too much petrol and diesel means 12+ hours a day and no energy to work
after that but i have a few bit for you all and a few quwstions. so i will start of with my latest buyings from the great bay

got myself some of these little badboys 10x6 with as new tyres £130 not bad i think just need to be black

then these are the hinges from a rover 75 i will use to lift the front end up work just the same as minitec ones but the only cost me 15 delivered and are probably better made too plus they have a built in strut

Posted Image

they will fit here on the inner wing when chopped a little on a custom bracket

Posted Image

and will work like this to move the front forward and up allowing the bonnet and wing corners to clear the scuttle

Posted Image

now for my questions i have fitted the door back on and offered up the a panel but at the ends of the scuttle there is massive gaps is this normal?

Posted Image

and then after the trail fitting the a panel the seam that the new scuttle end has is no where near where the a panel needs to meet it can i just slot this add a little strip and weld up?

Posted Image

hopefuly some of you will have the answers as i need to get this moving on and will be in there tomorrow and have tuesday off too so should get some more done

cheers for looking and sorry its not much darren
