I was going to offer some sort of admiring comment on how well re-made that firewall is, but given the flames it would probably seem like an ill-advised pun, so I won\'t :rolleyes:. Hahaha, step away from the meths bottle, drop the matches, and come out with your hands up :rollin

Glad to hear its hitting the spot. And your right we have lots more to do, especially with the back end, touring car type of design.

Post by: robedwards99 on May 16, 2010, 05:02:05 PM
I had a bit of a look around this up there... the back end appeared to be held up by a scissor jack?? Awesome height adjustment tool but not so sure it\'ll work on the go!!

Good work though, looks nuts! :)
