    Are you welding around the turret too? With how nice your welding is, you'll barely see it after a coat of primer and paint.

    Where about do you mean? At the bottom of the turrets or around the plates?

    On the main body of the turret, the seam that is kinda looking at you in the pic... (turret to inner arch bit)

    Love the look of the rear turns and turrets. Be able to go mega low with that..

    You'll be bending the floor with bombproof chassis legs. I did my arches in a similar way:-

    Funk me that door is very sexy!

    5.5kg? Is that right? Doesn't seem that light? A totally bare nova door isnt that heavy....

    I would have thought that the carbon doors are lighter !


    A fiberglass door weighs only 5kg.

    The inside of the door is fibreglass, I'm not convinced they weigh 5.5 tbh I'm taking a door to work tonight to weigh it
