Cant wait to see this back on the road, buddy. Glad you are putting the time in. I really do think a properly working Tubby would keep your interest for a little bit!

Nice car but those wings make it look like some one who's had a close encounter with a supermarket trolley.

Have to say I'm not a fan of the wings either but as you say so long as you like it.... For heavens sake get it lower though!

Hi,

I like the wings mate and think the car is coming on well :thumleft:

Think your next mod has to be lowering springs though,you will notice the difference on appearance and handling!

P.S I need to get updated pics of mine on this as i have just spent about 1000 on it this month :pale:
