westy Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Painfully slow progress In other new, I have now a set of these to refurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, well. Two days, two updates. First side came together reallly slowly but the other side was much better. Still some trimming to do and not quite sure if the size of the hole is right yet, but showing some potential. To spotlight or not to spotlight, that is the question.

westy Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Have been working on these. A little tricky to see the detail so here's a close might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Mucking around with a few things lately. Painted and polished the front bumpers so should be ready to get a mould off them. Working on the rear bumper buck. Filled some more holes Finally got the gearbox back in after replacing the input shaft bearing And pissed about with this for a while Also bits and pieces like fuel lines, proper brackets for the front end blah blah.

westy Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 So Christmas is gone and so are the hols so... Managed a bit of work, nothing major but even a little progress is nice at the moment. Mounted Andrews seat. Cheers fella! Sorted a position for the shifter higher and further back than stock and uses the stock E46 stuff. Also, because of the unknown age and specs of me poor old welder, I did some destructive testing on some tube with 3mm wall. So with 2.5mm wall cage steel I think we're all good for weld strength. Finally, anyone care to critique my cage landings? Thinking maybe they protrude too far from the sill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
