Skittles mo-fo!
There's three ways of doing things:

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

Just whipped the spacers of now Scottie.

As said needs the sills trimming a bit for some clearance. On the flat lock to lock its not fouling on the chassis or springs though.

It may now be the time to move the front axle forward and shim it.

Cheers for the kind words chaps. Its getting there.

I just need to get my fingure out and do some body work. The plan is to cut out the sills again, looking as it i dont think it effects the actual body, just the box section. That SHOULD be a quick job. Cut the ends and box in again.

New front clip, bit of a time consuming one as it needs virtual lifting and patching to fit.

Wheels to finish wite brushing, prime, and spray satin black.

I could do with a few spare days, last time it was all properly bodged together. I'd like to take a bit more time when i redo it. I'm hoping i'll do a better job of it as i think i'm a bit more experienced this time round. We'll see.

Till i get that done i'll just do more temporary bodges.

Edit :- i'm back at work again now warminster bound. Another weekend gone.
