Picked up the rear discs last night. I had them redrilled to chevy pattern.The guy doing this asked me if I wanted him to put them on a diet and balance them.  (he must be a mindreader)   They are 750 grams lighter each and fully balanced. Michael |

Hi Michael, just noticed that you put some sprindle wheels on your car. Did you have pics on the mods you made to mount them? Thanks Jerome I had the chance to take a set of frontrunners and a wast gate in my luggage so the "to have list" is getting a bit shorter allthough it is getting longer due to all the great stuff I saw in the Us.  michael |

Finished the brown on the shell all that is left to do is go round the inside one more time with black and then do the fenders and decklid.  Michael |

Picked up the floorpan this morning to reunite it with the shell.  Got it bolted together and fitted the finished fenders.One more to go.   It is pretty low now and I think it has to go up a bit to avoid smashing the front sheet metal  Michael |
