Front came up and the rear went down...
Steering box fitted... centralised the box... narrowed the steering arms.. fitted the front shocks..

Oh and dropped the arse a couple splines

And plopped the motor in as well..

It's taken me over a month just to fit a beam, track rods and shocks - how come you've done all that in a day, plus loads more?!

wow i like that... i like that alot


Just a question, you know bridgwater college.. how low do you think you can go so u can still just about go over the speed bumps.. also how low do u think i should go.. and umm how much will it cost.. (if u want you could pm me this)

park outside and walk go very low, its the rules



Rich, mate it looks the nuts, front has to come back down a touch though

Cheers guys/gals...

Nipped out there and drag the old girl out in to the quickly fading sun light.. The floor drags the ground so it IS coming up first thing tomorrow morning..










The stock exhaust is sat on the floor and the engine is only about 1/2 away for the floor as well.. And thats only a little step..



Right then the stand off's are gone.. Rear lights placed on as is the number plate light..

Frizz looks well happy and tiny funny isnt it i bined the stand offs on jex today to best place for the litter

I thought the rear lights were a problem with paint dude??...how did you sort it .

looking really cool dude ..


and best of all frizz looks like she likes it too

you know what would look good on that......................... some gold 5 spokes. i know of some if your interested

Yeah carl you probably right about puting them in the bin but mine went on the shelf so i have them 'in stock'.. Don't know why though

Steve the rear lights that got painted with the car are the pre 67 style lights not the 70's tombstones which is what should be fitted with europa bumpers, so we're gonna sort some bumpers and see what they look like together.....

Eddie are you getting commission from Spence???????????

no mate lol, just thought they would suit. anyway you going to repaint the wheels?

Ahhh........right paint wrong lights....



just leave them dude ...they look cock on .....no one would even notice

nice seats

Cheers dan.. The seats are brand new honda civic/crk seats and cam in the car they'll soon be in the bin cos as you can see frizz can't see over the bonnet..

Here we go...

The arse came up 1 spline... Didn't make much difference..




So it came up another spline.. And that made a BIG difference..




It'll do for now though... Remember theres no interior, tinware or engine ancillaries and it's not settled down.. .. I'm sure it'll be back down another spline ONCE it's all back together...

What's wrong with stand-offs??

They just dont look right unless there on the right bug and thats not mine

And your engine bay fills up with water .... I know!

But that wouldn't worry Scoops cos he hates to take his bug out when it rains & it lives in a nice cosy dry garage

That was the plan........ But i just have to bring it down a little bit more.......... Tonight..


To do list....

Bleed brakes.
rebuild rear brakes.
Shorten and drill front leaves.
Fit new roof liner.
Weld in some OG seat runners.
Fit interior.
Build a wiring loom.
Prep and paint the tinware.
Bolt the engine bits back on.
Source some bumpers and fit.
Fit new chrome trim.
Fit new running boards.
Bolt up wings with new beading.

Thats just about it i think..

rich...... buy spences motor!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, hi frizz! anyway then bug rocks but needs some hard power to match the look. i know spence would agree and its a bargain. also, you don't HAVE to drive it, it could be a club race car.

Hello to you

It would be nice to have that motor but i think for now i will stick to something a bit smaller....

How are things with you anyway????

I was well happy...that was the second time i had seen it since getting her and first time since rich polished her.

But the seats are a problem...they are far too low for me and i need a seat that is about 6 inches higher for me to see ok

Stock it is then
