[hoody99]

Ther not attached to the front end permanently that was just a mock up to see if it would operate right lol the hinges are the comanly used BMW salon boot hinges

[hoody99]

Not much progress folks sorry just busy even tho im on holiday from work with fixing the daily ( needed a new fuel tank after it collapsed ) and doing some DIY in the house done a wee bit tho

Took it off the spit and refitted the rear subby then turned it round and found out it fits length ways lol



Then made and started to fit strengtheners/hinge mounts for the front end only started fixing them on tho a lot more G/F to go on there lol



More on this soon

Also me and the better half were in a bump in her car yesterday so been sorting that out all ok tho cars not and the misses has a sore shoulder but nothing major. Cheers for the interest tho lads.

But the postie brought me a long awaited gift today



A step in the right direction albeit a not so progressive one lol

[hoody99]

Small progress

just about finished the mounting and strewn thing of the front end

Sexy aero catches





and the mounts and bracing







just need to glass over it all now but think i need thiner glass the stuff in the kit is way to heavy for this. So need to weld on the hinge mounts but that needs done institute.

Had some more mini time today/night. Still trying to get my front end to fit half decent but being second hand and me.rushing as usual it's brig a right swine. Lol but still got it about 75% on just some little tweeks.here and there for it to work 100% forgot pics only took one but photobucket is down so none for now lol will upload when I can.

Also was distracted with buying new wheels for my daily lol.

[hoody99]

The only pic I took lol

[hoody99]

Well........been out tonight for a few hours still trunionng with this front end no pics of progress as there was none. When I left the garage (with my lighter in my hand heading for the jerry can) I was planning on doing an old skill flip foreword front as I just can get the hinges to play ball with the front end and scuttle lol. But have talked myself into choking the mounts off the inner wings and trying again one last time lol will keep you posted. Sorry for the crap update that ain't really an update ha ha.

[Minidarren83]

Let me know where to not working mate and I might be able to help as mine works a treat show me some pic if the hinges mounted

[hoody99]

Think that where the problem is bud where the hinges mount the inner wings going to chop it up and start again lol it sits to high where the hinges are and I have butchere a hinge trying to get it to fit lol with no luck so time to butcher the inner wings lol

[Minidarren83]

I found the best thing to do was lay the front end in how you want it to fit then get under the wing and place your hinges where they need to go and mark it off without that it's all just guess work
