Its an RS 2000 :wink: Its taking a back seat at the moment as old Mutters was sulking cos Jimmy was getting all the attention, so I have had to pay him some attention :roll:

Finished off the body today (well almost) I lopped the top off the hydraulics locker as it was too pointy :lol: Painted everything inside and out (ran out of yellow paint hence primered panel). Fitted all my lamps and reinstated all wiring (neatly :shock: )

I think it looks "humpy" because there isnt a constant bottom body line... Also the front bumper being so low doesnt help the look either (but I doubt that would be a problem if the body line was straight)

Not a bad idea, but I cant afford it a the mo :wink:
I have done a fair bit of fettling with the chassis today and i think I have all but removed his "hump" :D
Before :( Humpy.
Image
After :D Not humpy.

Well not too humpy any way. I have had to make bigger mounts for the rear of the body as it seemed to drop down at the rear, I had to do similar to Jimmy :? Any one else had this problem?
Also I have whacked a dirty great lump of 50mm thick walled box under the chassis where it keeps buckling :D
