how did you end up with it btw ?

by **madvanman** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:05 pm

the workshop where it was being done has closed down

by **Gunslinger** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:13 pm

ahhh, thats a shame, oh well, i'm sure you'll do it proud

(i still think something that size should have a v8 in it ... at least

)

by **madvanman** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:19 pm

it is a v8 in it, and by the looks of it it was a brand new out of the crate jobby when it was fitted.

i must have missed that in the info, so it should have plenty of go when it's done then

drool !!!!!!!

i'd be tempted to grab those fibreglass wings that were on ebay, especially as i assume it's getting a full respray, it would be a good time to do it, and if you make them bolt on you'd help yourself out no end later with any possible rot problems, the wing mounting areas at the front are notorious for tinworm

... and just think how easy it would be to remove a wing when you want to work under there, no more headaches from cracking the back of your head on the dam wing

The problem with fibreglass is the front arches, to accomodate the big wheels! :lol:

by **Gunslinger** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 1:06 pm

ah yes, i'd overlooked the flare on them, although i am sure someone good with fibreglass could mould those off the originals

by **FredTransit** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 1:42 pm

Sorry it's not actually clear, that was why we took the wings off, to finish the arch cos it was catching the wheel on full lock.
