Oi!!! Mentalist!!! lmao!

[Nova-Boy]

thats some work! non stop 48 hours working shifts eh? That would have taken me about 2 years!! :lol: Its different.! needs Big wheels now! :twisted:

[Sexy_cruiser]

lol it took us 48 hours with help from loads of ppl and yes the colour is hammerite black/grey with a slight sparkle if its in the sun :twisted:

[Wiggie]

sweet! like that! shame there aint more pix of the back though. is it actuly road worthy?? as youv taken a very stuctural part out :? lol

[Ste_Nova]

no probs with the strength... i drove it with the back cut off and there is no flex... remeber the rear spring mounts are only 10" behind the astra boot lid and that is where the weight pushes up.. in the rear there is 3mm steel plate welded to the boot lid and the the side panels and full floor up to the front seats and all thats welded together
