Now thats all up to date.

and he also flocked a dashtop for me which turned out excellent.

well i have been collecting wheels this week.
so far i have got 10 15" wheels, and thanks to benny hogan for his efforts to find which cheap wheels fit a unarched mk2 and it turned out to be pug 406 or citroen.
the pic shows the wheel on and they are gonna be perfect but it has a 195/65/15 on it so i will get 195/50/15's for them as they will have a lower profile

now to the final colour choice........
i have decided to go with NATO green for the body.
i tried bright green for the wheels but i now will go with matt black.
this is only thrown on rough to see the colour. bonnet is finished but it is wet in this pic

vincent is calling over on saturday to weld in the cage. :up:
and i realised i forgot to weld in the tramp bar brackets to the body.
i might go with an A-frame setup like benny did on his.
also on the look out for stiff rear springs if any one was thinking of going back to road springs or 6 linking please let me know.

well today Vincent (whitedog) called over to weld in the rollcage as i want the welding to be good on the cage for safety
so he welded in 3mm plate on the arches and front foot plates and the some 8mm under the centre bars.
the welding is shit hot and miles ahead of anything i could ever achieve. :up:
also have a brake set up decided but i'll explain that later in the week when i try put it together.
