jiggaman_16 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 They've taken the rear legs and welded them to a cross bar which is between the rear suspension turrets. It would be better if the rear leg's were on top of the rear suspension turrets. You'd usually weld a plate onto the top of that area to strengthen then weld to that. Hard to explain with out a pic. It'll be more than fine though. Is there a X bar in the roof? Same thing i was saying. 1) the plate welded onto the wheel arch part of the shell looks a bit small. 2) The diagonal bars running from the roof part of the cage to the wheel well, those normally meet the wheel well at the front of the well (facing towards the front of the car) or on top as RobSR said Note, this is constructive criticism, not tearing anyone down.

Bussey Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Plan for this week is to just take my time spraying the interior ready for fitting stuff at the weekend. Just doing little bits at a time, as I really can't be asked to be in the garage long on school nights. Tonight the interior was maliciously cleaned, lots of sound deading pieces still floating about from where that was all removed. After everything was clean and grit free I cracked on with the priming. Them after dinner and a nap I tried the toyota silver overcoat on a small section at the front. Came out very smart Gonna get some more painting done tommorow. To cold for this shit in the winter even with the garage heater on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
