Looks awesome on wellers.

nice bottom.

pointless question but, have you decided on a colour yet? Is it going to be an "in your face" colour or a retro/period colour??

Looks like Stig has been working hard on it though, looks fantabulous

Not decided on the colour 100% yet but was thinking black.

As for fitting the subframe there will be inbuild steel strengthening tubes in the bulkhead.
