    Sounds a well thought out build mate and whatever size wheels you decide on is fine by me, I just glad to see another build up in progress. Keep it coming.

    Wouldn't it be a great world if the 'putting together' was as quick as the taking apart!!

    Keep the pictures coming..........

    Talking Brambles POP

    Boy have I been bizzzzzy , as you can see the bodys off ! right or wrong cut out all the cross members but braced the chassis to hold her in position seems to have worked ok .
    Employed skinny teenager to get on the roof to drill out old pop rivets in roof insert he works well for a peanut or two !!
    I have made a media blasting booth out of plastic sheeting to blast the chassis, got blaster from Frosts I found some FREE grit in new cut bags in a skip bargin? so I was set NOT the grit was in the skip for a reason it had odd big lumps in it so kept blocking the nossell , so off to Dunelm to buy a BIG SIVE i had to sive the lot befor i could use it but works realy well now . the plan is to blast it and box it with a kit from Pop Brown I will keep you posted cheers for now DrewiD

    Heres a couple of pics of my Prolaminates roof fitted...... Excuse the dust!!!!

    They come slightly oversized to allow fitting to a chopped pop and I left it that size coz I had a few issues with the steel infill panel, that was already fitted when I bought the car, being a bit 'wavey'.
