Well long time no see cal look lounge, it has been a fair while since I have posted here  Shocked  I finished university and my degree last may and have since started my new job as a teacher since my last post! The car has gone through several big steps in this time too I'll try and list everything but may miss some parts  Grin. After the pan was blasted and raptor coated we moved onto the gearbox and steering assembly. All parts were cleaned, degreased and sanded back as necessary before a good coating of trusty satin black.

The gearbox mounts were replaced with heavy duty mounts and a mid mount was fitted as well before fitting the alloys. The new adjustable front beam was fitted with urethane beam bushes. The dropped spindles, new tie rods, freshly painted steering box and 2l alloys were fitted. We now had a rolling pan!

Not long after building up the pan something else happened!

So this brings us up to where we are now. Body on, freshly fitted brake line and factory fresh upgraded running gear! We are hoping to move onto getting the doors finished and fitted   Grin

Looks great. I'm hoping you will do colour coded headlight rims?

Who did the paint?

Still undecided on the headlight rims/indicator covers, I have a few ideas so we shall see! Paint was done by crazy mike same guy who did my dads 56.
