At least with this front end it wont rust! You going to fork out on those classy flipfront hinges from USA?
I also orderd a mk1 boot aswell from ABS, Looks like good quality from the pictures :P

The Minilite you saw in the pic have had there day to be honest lol, Chips everywhere, Used them for racing at the rear with A008'S & the 12'' MWS minilites at the front.

cheers lilwille! yer im really undecided about arches or not, i prob will stick with arches as i cant afford to mess about buying more wheels and tyres... lol ps the arches i have on at the moment r the ones i will be using, just sprayed black.

racerpete, shame about the minilites, they look nice!

time for a little update too!

Bean has been running horrid recently, cutting out randomly and not starting and so having to be towed home... i narrowed it down to the resistive wire, like a ballast resistor, which i cut out and replaced with standard wire, he started up and has run fine since!

also, just won this on the Bay of e!

for those who dont know, its a Helphos windscreen mounted rally searchlight! its instead of those ones that go through the roof, for the codriver to read roadsigns in the dark! there was a cream one too, but that was more expensive... it was cream... lol

Ed >_<
