Great Looking Mk2,

Excelent work. Nice Paint finish. Blacks the hardest to get a good finish, caus you see every little mark.
Very Agreessive looking with the Tarmac Arches and the Deep Dish are they Compomtive Mo' 15"

Will she be rallied or Road car.

Lot of work , 15" rear tubes, 4linked, is 5 or 6 linked?
CorsaPower Stering , v good,

Your Arches are the way I like them ,
Done my Alloy arches with no lip showning, I cut it off the edge on top and TIG it back on underneathe the arch and then bolted it to the wing & Quarter pannel.

I notice in your frist pic Your Arches look spot welded to the wing and no lip. Are They made of steel?
Great idea if there steel. where did you get them.


Good power from the cossie, will she be Turbo or Naturally Asperated.

Best of luck and keep at her, just the finishing touches now.

A wee push she be finished.

give me a shoute back

woow now thats a lot of questions

steel arches have been made by a good friend of mine and the wheels are 16" x 9j borbet A alloys and it will be used as a toy which means ROAD AND TRACK and anywheres else i can have a play with it . the car has been built to be used and that it will be , if i break it i will fix it if it get's dirty i will love it , just want it on the road and ready for the lakes realy and then i can start on the engine mods as i have a loooooooooad's of bits to start adding to her but just want to get started and then mod it as i go along
