04-04-10, 23:01 GMT+10#18 Looking good. I know myself how much work goes into doing a bay like that. Well worth the effort though. Just don't smack yours into the wall at the track like I did with mine and destroy everything

04-04-10, 23:10 GMT+10#19 i dont think anyone has done it like how i did it man its not just a bit of plate welded over the spots
we made a templet that goes right into the corners and goes up the strut towers slightly and all the way into where the head light goes where that join is and seem welded and metal finished in i would say 85% of spots
