Looking Sweet. didn't realise you were going for the original colour

[DannyPancho]

so this appeared on ebay-

after I won it i realised it was on the other side of the country and it was pick up only- thankfully the seller has packaged it and its being picked up on saturday (lucky! )



all i need is some coilovers now....

is it possible to buy just the base plate for the independent kit? or was that a one off you think? 

[1973/126]

 You can buy the "base plate" separately, but it cost nearly 300 Euros.

 Or the whole kit for 500 which probably makes more sense once you added everything up.

 Stuey, the car is looking great! I like the clean look without the rear side vents

[stuey]

I would have gone for the complete kit if this had not of turned up on eBay and I got it for £90 iirc so hopefully I can get some coilovers severally and that will still be a saving.

Gaz make the shocks though and there might be a group buy-

Fantastic work mate I can't wait to see this up and running! You've done soooo much work on this yet never really driven it so hopefully you'll get it up and running for some outings in 2017

I've done a little work this week including fitting the plastic windows and engine intake tubing, front and rear lights, fitting in the iPhone for the digital dash set up, wrapping the exhaust and a few other bits, any here's some pics...



Also test fitted the bumpers ready to send them for powder coating-


I've now had to order lots of stupid little bits to replace all of the stuff I've lost over the last 8 years...

Stuey i'm now wondering if you could give me the measurements for this cross-member-ey thing? ive made the part in my CAD software but my measurements came from eye and a rushed 10 minutes laying under the car at college with a measuring tape... 

if its not do-able then dont worry, i may rapid prototype my design out of plastic first to see how far out my dimensions are
