Drums in primer

bump stops converted to be adjustable.

Chopped out the rear cradle to gain an extra 65mm under chassis clearance.

Notched horns for tube (wolfsberg style)

Bend up and in place

Test fit..... motherfu*ker box bottoms out on the pipe by 15mm!! Looks like a small notch in the pipe now!! grrrrrrrr

G day Niko, Coming along nicely. Some serious chop chop going on there! You decided on a box yet? what size engine are you planning on running? i am trying to sort all this out at the mo, change my mind each time I go to the shed!

cheers mate, yeh chopping now so later I don't change my mind, I'm keeping all the stock bits too as metal can always be put back if need be.
Still not sure on motor / box combo getting so many different opinions on what to put in. Prob a 1916cc but from where I'm not sure yet. Got to start saving for those two big $$ items

Thanks mate, only a few weeks to go then i'm back in the white stuff for 4 months again but its $$ for when I'm back.
Had to redo my chassis notch as it didn't cut the mustard!!
Probably because of the 2" beam raise.

Cutting more out and decided to make it look more stock looking

added more metal above again

Way more room now, can go right to the ground I'm sure with the right tyres.

oh and the nice rebuilt flipped spindles

cheers guys, looking at running it not crazy low yet, but at least the ground works done. No paint until I'm back from the ski resort in October sadly but I need that time to save for parts.
