Does the mk3 shell have holes for the later large two tower bolts? MK3 mini subframes bolt to the body using four smaller bolts, whereas the allspeed frame is designed for using the two large bolts.

Just wondering because i've got an allspeed frame and might possibly be getting a mk3 shell, so want to make sure it will fit.

it was bout 3 weeks mate. got the bottom arms tie bars and camber brackets with bushes for £100, from huddersfield mini spares. what engine you going for mate?

[RacingGreen]

Rob told me 5 weeks for mine, but thats fine, give me chance to save the rest of the money.

Im going to be going for a 2ltr redtop. My project is in the section somewhere. I shall keep a watch of this, see how you get on with yours. As i'l probably still be doing mine when yours is on the road

getting there mate got my frame in bottom arms tie bars on. also put new bearings in the top arms both sides. will post some pics up later on. still got a bit of welding to do.

[RacingGreen]

Yeah, ive found plenty of welding to do on mine. Just went to bolt the front legs of my cage down and put the drill straight through the front corners of the floor. 1" hole on one side and a 1/8"th hole on the other, so may have some patching to do.

Picture would be good

[*franky*]

will get some pics up soon hoping to get my engine in tomro will up date the mro. where i am going to bolt my rollcage in i have welded plates on the car floor to strenghen it.

[*franky*]

just finished getting the engine in, working in the snow is no good like lol. its all coming together now just cant wait till its done. buying the frame off allspeed is the best thing i have done, makes the job a lot easier than making one, well worth £800 all day. (thanks rob) .
can any one help i have just tryed to post some pics up on how i am doing, but its saying upload failed the file was larger than the available space. is there a way of posting pics any outher way. lol thanks

[Tomf]

sign up on photobucket.com and upload your pics on there, then just copy the image codes over on here....

[hoggy]

How are you planning on fitting the huddersfield tie bar and bottom arms to the allspeed frame? Are the mounting points not different?
Do you have any pics of how you are fitting them, as i'd rather spend £100 on the huddersfield ones than 300 odd for allspeed arms.

Cheers.
