Good feed of drink 2nite shall cheer you up :-)
Thanks for the help today Cormac, much appreciated. Hopefully it'll be back soon ready to fit again!
Keith
Chin up mate, These things happen to the best of us......Im sure a few beers with friends will be a good remedy!

Going to swap it for another one!
I'm sure if you'd left it, knowing it was there would be constantly niggling away at you. Swapping it for another one will at least give peace of mind at full chat around the ring!
an amazing story, can't wait to see more.
am still trying to geuss that colour tho
good job pal!
Too good to break/turn into something should be in a car museam!
You could go that low on air bags?Quote:

Tailgate screen fitted today, need to fix the roof lineing and fit the rear quater windows. The exhaust is hung on the car and looks great. I need a good windscreen rubber if anyone has one?
This week i'll hopefully have all the glass in, loom fully in, electric windows, and fit a battery to test everything.
Got a Lamba sensor, and just need a fuel pump and fuel lines.
Keith
You can get brand new screen rubbers from autoglazing. About 15 quid.
get rid of the rear shox and springs make some solid bars up and bolt it up that low lol
Wheres that quoted piccy come from?
Ages ago?
Yeah Craig, Easter! When the car was getting the seam welding and plating kit fitted. I took that opertunity to trim the arches with the wheels as low as they can possibly go (no shocks or springs)
Keith

But then again the whole car is mint.
loving the progress soon be finished

Fook me, properly cracking on with this.
The shell will be built for the weekend lol

Using a standard beam / mount points running this low shortens the wheel base around 20MM from the rear ALONE.
You don't need airbags - leave that to american show sh1te.
NDZ was damn clean, that got 'used' properly..
I think keith will give the car its dues in driving, just that for now - he might as well build the car to the highest of calibers..
To be honest, no I probably wont thrash it like I did my old one. But i'll definatly drive it there and do some laps of the track!Quote:
