That last pic just looks awesome, would you mind telling me the height from the ground to the sill seam at the A-panel?

Im not surprised, My bum was dead when I had got home and I only had a 2 and a half hour drive home, standard suspension and seats! (maybe im a wuss :P )

by the way my grandad did ask if your car was lowered, I dont think he took his pills that day!

Just read it all.

 

I don't usually like this sort of thing but yours is something else!

 

Can't wait to see it back, will you be making any more changes?

Hi,I might change the stripes a bit, but it's just been about getting the machanical bits done, and sorting some bits on the body.
