Just read through and this looks top! the colour is nice and the dash is a great idea! love the cosmics, they really suit!

are the twin hs4's not a bit too much on the 1275 or is it more than a 1275?

Ed

Urm... Well... They would be a little OTT on a 1275 yes. That's all I'm saying.

Swift-ly (or, actually I should say Kent-ly) moving on to the more bore-ing stuff...
Got the rear hinges to finally fit! Had to take them back to Somerford, and they ground awaysome of the welds they had made! Ah well, they work now. Also got the rear light lenses on too...




Cosmics...



And fuel tank now in...



MiniFins on...

Got the rear hinges to finally fit! Had to take them back to Somerford, and they ground away some of the welds they had made! Ah well, they work now.

That was a real puzzler. I couldn't get to Huey to see how he compared.
All looking good!

[mini-man-dan]

Just poor quality workmanship 'Pot. At £23 a piece you don't really expect them to be MIG welded and not even finished properly. Never mind, they are on there and do the job now!

What arches you putting on it? You have probably said before but I CBA to look though the whole thread to find out lol.

[mini-man-dan]

I want to leave it archless. A friend of mine has 10x6 StarMags archless, and has been through several MOTs and never been stopped for it. I'll put the chrome strip down the side to make it look finished, but in a few months after I'm on the road I want to save up for some split rims, then get some Gp2's on the go

Got some better photos of the tailgate and rear lights today...


You can see the tailgate is too low comapred to the tops of the wings, but it's too low both sides so matches Am going to leave it as is, a tonneau cover going over so it won't show, and as the tailgate fits I don't want to fix something that isn't broken!

And here's the interior, coming on nicely...

Just like to say about the MOT and wheels sticking out. It isn't something that the tester can fail it on. In the eyes of the law it is illegal so the police can get you done for it but it isn't something the MOT tester can fail you on.

[mini-man-dan]

Yeah, I did read about this somewhere. It won't be long (hopefully) until I get some Exactons or Slotmags/Superslots split by Force anyways, then will have black arches and probably get the roof done black at the same time.

[mini-man-dan]

Speedo, Rev Counter, and Fuel Gauge. Have a look back a page or two and I've got some closer up photos of it.

Hopefully will be collecting the carbon fibre bumpers, overriders and numberplate swinger at Malvern this weekend. All being well Arc Angels should be there. They will be going on on Monday. 2 weeks off school/college, yaayyy!! Must revise for AS exams though, oh and French oral exam, oh and do the Design Technology coursework, and study the highway code for my theory test (which is a few weeks off yet!)

Sounds like you've got loads to do! My brain didnt cope with coursework and theory test! Too small Hehehe

Looks great!

[mini-man-dan]

Well finally I have seen my rear bumpers...


I haven't seen them in real life though...
This image is on the Arc Angels website, and seen asthough I supplied them the chrome bumper to copy, mine are the first set, so this picture must be of them

They look AWESOME!! Can't wait to actually get them tomorrow

[hystrix cristata]

They do look awesome, if my pickup was tidier I'd have some of those are you getting anything else in carbon?

[mini-man-dan]

Front bumper and front overriders... overriders are the 1st ones too. Azzgranty has done a set, but other than that I've never seen them before.
Also have a carbon fibre rocker cover and carbon fibre numberplate surround/swinger for the rear.
