    Default Dans 'widearch' project (2016 updates)

    ok, so here i am again, its been a while since i did my last build so with my recent purchase the bar is to be set higher again with rebuild number 4. As with all of my other builds it will be stripped back to the metal and grafted from the ground up to a higher spec than the last one.

    **lets all have a minutes silence for the breaking of my grey baby**

    alas it will be running a standard xe due to the mounts already being welded into place, lucky its a nice early one with a coscast head, but it wont be slow as this new shell already has a quiafe box lined up for it along with a few more fibreglass panels meaning it will be alot lighter again the colour scheme is already in the pipe line with a respray already lined up. the shell will be fully welded again with a few more developments to the chassis to further explore what i can do to it.

    heres a few pics of the space lee allowed me to take up during the prep and a couple of the new toy (obviously i havent even touched it yet so its as bought)

    Whoever gets his grey shell will have probably the neatest welds ive ever seen, plus its proven what its capable of ten times over. Not something that comes up for sale often
