'89 Driver
« on: 25 November 2010, 18:34 »
oh dear, i've bought another one



Atlas grey driver, non sunroof shell  :cool: It also comes with the added bonus of a manual quick rack (have been looking for one for years), widetracked front, g60 brakes and the subframes have been powdercoated. The g60 arches weren't part of the deal though so they will be taken off, i'm not a big fan of them tbh

A better pic to come at the weekend when its had a damn good wash!

Paint looks good in that shot. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Sounds like a clean enough base :afro:

You gonna stick with the bigger front wheels to try and get the power down better  :huh: :lipsrsealed: :grin:

a slightly better pic from today





have also started the stripdown. Its pretty much rot free, just a bit on the os sill and behind the rear arch to sort. The shell looks straight as though, was loving taking the deadening off the roof with no sunroof  :laugh:
