Removed the centre of the rear spring plate (extra weight lol)

Then ground back all the overlap on the turret so it was nice and neat

And did a little more stitching

While waiting for the whole are to cool on the N/S i moved on to the O/S - cleaned it up, stitched it up, and painted it, this was very satisfiying to see as it was all coming together with the etch priming!

Instead of watching the pain dry i went inside the car and did the opposite...i got the morz out and stripped off the paint from the seams around the inner wheel arches ready to be stitched.

Once the paint was off i got on with stitching the seams inside the car

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...urrets1141.jpg
Then it was time to clean up and paint the inside of the N/S turret as so

may i say you have done a cracking job on them turrets :thumb:
Making me want to try to do mine but it would look sh1te lol
Nearly completed all the work inner arch wise! So its back to the inside of the car to clean up the turrets and dust them over with acid etch (its just to keep the atmosphere off them for the minute as i will have to weld the cage in shortly)

Nice and level looking out of the car (the turrets not my inability to take a level picture, in my defence the car is on its side lol)

i agree with you there they have turned out spot on :thumb:
So when you doing mine lol
Looking good mate, another awsome build :)
You welding in a rear strut brace ?
Even if my best mate in the whole world asked me to fit some of these i would only do it for a huge sum of monies or sexual favours or a combo of the too as they are a PITA to do even on your own car lolQuote:
