Looking good it's gonna be almost a clone of Curryracers HSR lookalike that I bought. When I sell my previous daily I'll have to change user name again lol. But it's top secret at present. I'm still gathering bits for mine so if you get any extra bits pm me. Can never have too many carparts! Glw project bookmarked.

Had a 4 door chevette in red WUB236X never forgotten that car, fun times, watching this with interest 120y was my first car white saloon bought from Duerdens in Southport NKB686S. Was gutted as wanted modded flat front RS2000 but my dad said it was too fast for first car. Dad had a 120y hatch in orange RCW582P again from Duerdens but brand new. My 120y was bought by the groom of RedRum famous local Grand National multiple winner.

Like them strengthening plates! Fabbed up or bought and where? Need to lwb mine first tho or front wheels don't look right with kit. Plus extra wheelbase won't hurt. Keep up the good work!

Hi mate,I got them out of Germany..they were not a great fit to be honest needed a good bit of fettling to get them "right". Yea I hope to have her finished soon. Get to a few shows in the summer.
