go 70's and dazza how did you shorten the axles to band the wheels matey? :thumbsup:

 

Cut then down, then using a bench grinder carefully shave the wheel wells out on the chassis plate.

I say leave it to rot - being an Anglia it won't take too long :)

 

Thinking about cruise control in this one mate. It'd probably work for more than 2 months as well. :twisted:

Decided to go 60s track slag.....!

 

First job is to get the axles sprung, using vanguards Mk2 tina spring rods and a drill bit package cover pop-rivited to the chassis plate.

Then using 70s Formula 1 rims on cut Hot Wheels Tyres.

Couldnt decide on a theme and had a tin of Olympic Blue hanging around, so that kind of suited a Gulf theme.
