Cheers mate, we got em from Roy Nunn down at the lakes last year and we bought another new set again from him at the lakes this year, the other set are for my mums mk1 when I finally get round to doing that one.

Real nice doors if your ever looking for any again mate Roy Nunn is the man.

Cheers lads

Mark: Awesome!, great to see another EOO

Well time for another update...

Finished off the side I was working on, when on the spit with the rear arch... in good nick however needing a patch etc and a new lip put on. So I used the leftover parts from the sill and made up a new lip etc, just needs a skim of cataloy and it will be spot on.




Then she was flipped over to the tuther side for the same treatment...



chassis to sill skids etc all welded on this side now also...



The rear arch was needing a fair bit of work on this side... the join had the odd hole that I poked out so decided to strenghthen the whole join in inner arch...




Pic of arch area after sorting out the join...




As you can see here some more patches and holes plugged and seam welding on legs etc..

Time for another update on the Mk1.

Didnt get much done last weekend as I was away at Rally Hebrides with my mate George in his Mk1 Twin Cam... awesome weekend! and a great amount raised for the charity too

So this weekend however I got a good bit done to the auld girl... really starting to take shape now.









Thats her back in the upright position in preparation for, diff tunnel, link box covers, extra bar on cage, door bars, fuel tank platform, gbox tunnel and under bonnet gussets and tidy etc... then fit doors and paint!
