[Philsutton]

LMFAO!

[ade]

stripped that quick!

I reckon you should do it up in the style of a Nova Sport - seeing as the grafix will them match the interior.

Would look good too.

Looks like you need new sills, arched, doors, rear hatch and some serious engine bay cleaning up!

Good luck mate - if you can pull it off should look well smart!

8)

[scott.parker]

Oh dear god baxter what have you got your self into! :o

That car is going to need a lot of work,i hope you/or someone you know is good with welding and bodywork etc,as it needs a lot..

[novamadcars]

good progress baxter keep up the good work mate

[General Baxter]

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a191/baxters83/cabro%20rebuild/Picture.jpg

[Mike.]

[scott.parker]

So your going to try make spider/funny cab rep?? bit unsure tbh

[General Baxter]

rare car, rare kit needed

[scott.parker]

Would you not be just best to make it 100% standard again just a restore job,as adding the spider kits a bit like putting a GSI kit on a 1.2 but even worse mate,just my opinion..

Scott

[novamadcars]

i fink the kit looks good on it baxter keep up the work mate

[burgo]

if i were you baxter i would of restored back to original but if you are modding that praps ill convert mine :wink:

[General Baxter]

luke your too common you got a saloon :wink:

[burgo]

at the moment its a saloon :wink:

[probert_nova]

i think if i'd had the cab i would have done exactly the same as you've done baxter (money permitin).keep up the good work.

[Adam]

I would of returned it to standard personally.

But, i told you that you wouldn't do it and end up scrapping it, but it seems you are going to finish this project :lol: :D
Nice one baxter :wink: :+:
