Gotta admit. I love the fact your doing this under a tarp, in what appears to be a field. Its as if u just stopped whilst out laning for an overhaul.

Is there a fully equipped workshop your just not showing in the fotos?

Jordi
Unfortunately there is no hidden workshop :lol: Just a rickety old gazebo that i have to try and put up every time it rains. Its a bloody nightmare, but should be worth it in the end. :P

Ok update time again. Been pretty busy taking the old engine out, spliting and painting the spring packs, polly bushing every thing, putting on the new shocks and extended brake hoses. I also painted the chassis (i know its a bit unnecesary, but i got carried away)

Overkill, yes, but it looks brilliant! :twisted:
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
