    Coming along nicely will you be painting it yourself and what spec will the engine be?

    No not painting it myself. My friend is a paint tech rep so I managed to get him to do all the paintwork for me. Once it's rubbed down it will be going to bodyshop for paint work.
    The only engine I have at the min is my 1.2 out of my other nova ha. It may well be put in until such times as I can gather money up for a c20let.
    Ideally I'd be wanting a let nova at the end. If anyone is looking rid of a cheap one feel free to contact me

    Sorry yes i ment the chassis leg mod. I'm not a fan of the look or cutting a big hole right under the turret.

    Car looks good.

    Thanks benn. Yeah I know what you mean but I wasn't sure of an alternative and I never built one before so ended up doing it in preparation for eventually getting a bigger engine. I used the original thicker plate when re fabricating it so strength should still be there hopefully.

    How have you done yours Benn?
    I always thought this was the best way?

    That's fair, it is very shit to have to go back and redo. I know i've done it..
    Should be strong then.

    I heated mine and gently dented it in. Didn't need alot as i machined my Alt pulleys and bar down.
    I dont think there is a best way... Just two ways that get used to fix the issues.
