Manky wagered that I couldnt drink all that coke in ten days! Im keeping up with his cola intake but only because he has been slowed by toothache!
Undecided whether to beef the bottom of the pan up anymore later on, Archie does like 'em low an draggin'! But on to the body next so we can do some more interesting stuff!

Nah not really, I'm bored at work.

Pan might need beefing up maybe. We shall see!!! Guess it depends on how high we can raise the transmission and how big the wheels are to offset the camber.

Good day today. Built the pan up to trial fit the shell and see how the wheels fit with the loweredness. We tried 15's on it and they make the car sit how I want, but look daft. Tried on the 17's and they look great, but the car sits high, so going to get some dropped spindles which should drop the front another 2.5 inches down. Anyway - pics!

beam on

15's on and looking good - rear of the pan isn;t chocked up

rears trial fitted. Need to do a gearbox raise to stop the wheels on the back cambering like so -
