The first time in 2 years that the V8 has moved. It ended up being alot lower than i first expected lol. The engine an box sit about 2 inch off the ground and well im going to need to bodge some wide arches on the back as they catch like fuck.
Anyway here are some pics :D

Very cool Phil. Im surprised it catches on the arch doesnt look like there is one there. :lol: What about cutting the arches out completly and putting some plastic arch covers over like the ones on suzuki vitaras?

well i was thinking about doing some plastic rear arches just to cover the wheels, but like everything on the car it isnt going to be done to look pretty. At the end of the day i dont care what it looks likes as im going to be in the drivers seat going sideways.

well do you know that the car should not be on the road,
yes,
well its out of tax,
what about the wheels sticking 4ft ether side,
oh i dont give a shit about that, the paper works to hard to filll out, out of tax form is much better as i get more browny points

Phil, you are a nut job mate, keep it up though!!


Go for the Frontera Arches and maybe turn the wheels the other way round, might have more clearence that way. It wouldn't be hard to make that road legal either mate....
