I finally got round to doing this now my project is past three quarters of the way through. heres how she looked when I bought her 18 months ago  and its taken me months just to get the bits to do this so not a lot happened in the first year just some tinkering with wheels wings (replacing) welding on sills arches and so on.  thats my HS axle before it was cleaned.  and thats it after I had it blasted and cleaned |

a little project i had the other night was putting a gas strut on the bonnet so i could chuck away that stupis bonnet stay because it scratches the care every time you put it away   and heres the rear can i made. i cut a large one in half than welded it back up. its surprising what u can get for free at ATS if you ask nicely ;D  |

last week i made my exhaust system from scraps i got out of a skip at my local ATS ;D  i painted the manifold at the same time aswell.  although u cant tell from my crappy pictures iv got these wheels on the car.  a few weeks ago i had what i thought was a good idea ;D I'm goin to put my air filter on the outside of the panel, sp i avoid sucking in hot air.  |
