I was sad about Iain not being able to post up pictures, love the kit, annoyed for Iain re quality of work, know how he feels, Had some work done to my yellow car several times then got my money back and took it to my body work guy.

Its getting there Al, just a hell of a lot longer than expected, its better than the first time I had it back but a trip to Spa then back to the body shop, the shere aggressivness of the car now slightly destracts from the bad finish, a bit more sanding and polish sould see it right.

The body shop/garage has not come back to me with a drop off date so in the mean time I have stripped most of the interior as its now having a roll cage put in to stiffen up the chassis, since the class f springs went on I notice creeks when driving slowly over uneven ground i.e my drive way to the road has different angles.

No Al, I asked about re-inforcing the cage to the front chassis rails but thats an engine out job, I will be at some time cutting a semi circle out the front chassis rails to give the drive shafts a few more inches in travel which means i can cut the bump stops down the same length.

I was refering to the standard ones from a ser 3, all you would have to do is drill 4 holes in the bulk head at the top nearest to the engine. Then at the bottom where the crossmember bolts come through there is a place for the bars to be bolted into, you my need to make these on a ser 2.
Do you want a pic of what i mean?

I Think I know what your on about Al, the bars are just behind the dizzy and run diagonally down to the chassis.

Well I have finally dropped the car off, 3 years after getting it back with the bad body work and I have met the poor new body shop owner as to what needs doing. He has 1 month to do it ready for the Chatham Alfa Meet in August.
