finally here it is after the bodyshop!!!
« on: 22 August 2006, 18:22 »
Let me know what you think :wink:

I'm rather please with it for what it cost (£600) :grin: :grin: :grin:








One little niggle I do have is with the arch work.

I have had to have them cut back to stop the rubbing on the wheels. Now there is a gap between the plastic inner arch cover and the outer arch. You can't see it unless you look from underneath - Don't suppose any of you can suggest anything can you??

I keep telling myself that is isn't meant to be a  show car, but I can't help wanting it spot on at the cheapest price! :smiley:

looks like a strictly dubs sticker in the back.

Tyres need to be replaced imo as they are swamping the wheel.

Other than that, bob on son.  :cool:

The tyres look fat cos the outer rim is painted black  :undecided:

Looks good for 600 big un's though - nice one.

Still needs stretched tyres, and a lower profile.
