Dayum!
Was about to say that it needs more wide outer lips when I saw the first pics on the previous page... then I started to grin really wide when I saw the more recent shots!
Great work!

Cheers & it was always going to get wider lips whatever but hitting the pot hole worked out for the best.

Cheers mate & loves it,always keep him updated.


Not much of a update but I've now stripped the rest of the engine bay apart from a few wires.



Going off to the bodyshop very soon for prep & paint.



Also here is a little teaser of the new wheel centre colour.



Hopefully the next updates will be a lot better.

Subframe was also modified for the new engine & painted to match the roof.

Then finally got car back on its wheels after I got some tyres fitted on the freshly reformed wheels.

A small about of tweaking to the rear arches & camber adjustment on the front they now fit perfectly.

Then I had a few small patches welded in the floor & after I cleaned,prepped & painted the floor in a black epoxy rust protection paint, was going to go white but decided for black in the end as no one will ever see it.

Before.

Lots more to do yet before its finished but the worst is now out the way, more updates soon I promise this time.

Right finally some pictures after Photobucket went a bit crazy so i decided to change to Flickr.

Interior update.

So i had the original interior retrimmed while the engine was getting done over the last few months in Red Nutbourne Tweed just to be different than the normal leather, also fully sound deadened the car & added new carpets.
