well i figured that if im gonna rebuild a car with a powerful motor in it and get alot of work done to the body to be able to withstand the pressure i might aswell spend even more money and get a full body respray from bare metal to make sure there are no nasty suprises hiding under the paint. I am happy i have gone back to bare metal cause im not happy with some of the repairs this car has had.

looking good lucas, gotta be wrapped with the rust only been in the floor its the easiest place to repair and you wil have to cut a fair bit out for the bigger tunnel anyways. may as well 6 link it when your there its really not as hard as it looks. and the kits are easy to get and relatively cheap.

Kizza i was thinking this already but it all depends on wat the fabricator says. Are they a good thing to have for goin in straight lines or more of a track thing. or is it just to help all round. Should i just put it in for the sake of it. cause its not gonna be just a drag car i would like to go out to track days aswell.

does any of that make sense hahaha
