steady_dave Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Sorry for probably sounding completely stupid but are you keeping the back quarters and the roof black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Will that still be street legal? Hopefully... All though im not so sure i want to take it on the road at the moment! Sorry for probably sounding completely stupid but are you keeping the back quarters and the roof black? They will be sprayed next week with other bits. When Prepping the shell alot of crap gets into all the holes and corners, its near impossiable to ensure that you dont have any swarf in them... So to make sure the outside is spot on its sprayed after. Ryan Edited April 12, 2009 by Ryan.G (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 saw this car today and met ryan and steve, must say its looking awsome, pictures dont do it justice, nice work guys, oh thanks for the seats too steve Nice to meet you chap Today i have been cleaning up the subframes with the steam cleaners. Before i did this i took all the Siezed bolts out and cleaned them up and covered them in anti seeze grease to make track side changes easier. The subframes are then going to be seam welded to take out any compliance. Then finally painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
