I also used some nifty bits from Maplin to secure the fuel lines without drilling the shell.

One side of the handbrake cable is fitted, and brand new mechanism purchased, however I need to modify the cavalier short cable to allow it to fit.

Thats one side complete now, and I'm glad it's looking so tidy.

I tightened up the rear bearings on the discs and tested the new shocks for clearance.

Loving the way its comming along now, sweetness.. Loving the slamboed look!

Looks great mate, are you fitting skirts?

Yeah, Have two new sets in the loft ;)

looking well sir!!
cant wait to get to see it in person

You cutting the rear arches or you had them widened?? No way you will be able to drive it like that surly. Especially when you put your foot down

does look very nice though looking forward to seeing this in person

Trust me, Arches have plenty of clearance, and there is no springs in the car for that photo, it wont be that low. Even at its lowest point they cant catch.

You sure keith. Have you taken into account deflection in the bush, the beam and the tyre when cornering heavily?

Beautiful!!!

Yeah I have, the picture is too dark for you to see the proper gap, it looks touching in the photo but there's really about 3mm gap.
