Looking great Freddy! Arches look spot on. What wheels are you planning on running?

I got some 13'' alloys with the car when i bought it, running 175 tyres but they are
inset dish, to use them i'll have to have spacers 1/2 or so as they sit too far inside
the arches. would like starmags or deep dish super lights.
was toying with using steel 13'' wheels the same colour as the car with a chrome hub cap

this sort of thing





but with some offset.

How about this, buy some superlights or similar, and wack these on.

Looking very nice mate. Alot more work going into this than on mine Like the side exit pipes, wish my welding skills were up to standard so i could try stuff like that. Maybe in the future. Keep it up.

Got all my bits in the post today, so will be fitting pipes
and cables onto the bulkhead tomorrow. Yipee!!!!!

[camp freddy]

Been out tonight, don't know if i've done the right thing but what the hell!!
i've cut out the bulk head to fit a carb box in.

before



after



I have also if you didn't notice, fitted my new brake pipe, battery cable and
fuel line the the bulkhead and passed it through into the car, as all pipes etc are
going to be inside..



also decided to fill the wiper arm holes and the washer jet holes as I want
to have a single central wiper

welded up



filled and primered



I keep giving myself more work too do, will it ever be completed ??????
