    Looking good Colin, nice to see what you do with it once you get it stripped..

    Thew things to ask, are them "stump" stand serious!

    And have you ever been pulled for your plate, my old one's on the track car use to get me £30 fines..

    Wood is the most versatile thing for supporting cars, it's strong, free, and doesn't damage the shell or the trailer!

    I've had that number plate for about 10 years now, and never been pulled for it........mind you, you rarely see a Police car in Lincolnshire. We only got electricity recently.

    wow can bearly tell what car it is on the trailer.. good to see it'll be a very in depth project.
    The seat youve acquired is awesome; you never really know how good/whats what/condition with things on ebay sometimes; maybe these pug 106 seats were so cheap for a reason, you dont know..

    Colin, Have you weighed the shell to see what the paint weighs when it comes back?

    Or what is it now?
    Regards

    Very interesting to see how much of the shell has been removed from the front and rear! Looking forward to the paint stripped pics.

    Yes, I weighed it in this bare state, it's buried somewhere pages back (184kg rings a bell).

    But I will need to re-weigh it once the seat rails etc. have been welded in place, and then I can do it again when it comes back from being stripped of paint.

    seeing as youre going to all the effort and expense of stripping it right down would it not be an idea to change the CDS cage for a T45 one as i'd imagine that now youre at the point where £/kg its the most cost effective option - other than bulemia!

    Well it's either now or never to change th cage and I agree for the potential weight saving surely its worth the cost.
