Quick update, as you all can see that my avatar thing has schmidts on it. Lately i have come to realise that if i aim too high, yet another project will never get finished like my anglia. :?

So instead of trying to save up £1500 for the euro split rims ive bought these period alley cats. they came of a starlet hotrod race car.

I indent to get them painted orange and refurbed. Also some low profile rubber will be needed. As for the engine. well you will have to wait and see. :wink:

Cheers for the comments

The seats arent that bad honest. and if they do give me piles :sad: i will just have to make up some big sponge cushions.

just thought i would show you my new run about which i bought off Peter. well happy with the car. its a minter with a sweet little motor. it looks the part too. so i can go to work in style now :D:D

Thats what i thought until i started polishing the alley cats. :wink:

I now know why lepsoms charge £52 a wheel ive made a start on hand flat polishing the alley cats. shit me its hard graft.

Ive painted the rims orange to match the vinyl, and polished the rim and face. this is the first finished wheel i have a feeling that by the last one i probably wont bother.

im yet to get a mop head on it to give them a final buff, but im quite pleased with the results so far. :D

Cheers dude, that is still the plan so long as they dont get mess on the car they can :whack it: to their hearts content :lol:

 

here is the 1700 high comp stage 3 engine on 40's. i have painted it a very fetching shade of orange. to match the wheels and cage ive also bought lots of polished and new auxiliaries to be bolted when properly dry. :D

Quick update, i have made some front grills now and in metal fab ive also cut some plates to weld in below each foot on my cage. ive also made the plate for strengthening the bulkhead behind the servo.

I have also made a start on the seat brackets which will allow my kirkey seats to fit the original runners.

And i have also started to mount my sub and amp into the boot floor. which will be vinyled in black with the other speaker builds and door cards.

ive welded up the seat brackets and i need to grind down the welds and powdercoat them. I have managed to use the original recaro runners so i can still move the possitioning back. :D
