Nah. No space frame in this one. She's an original 1.6 with green interior. Basically the same as my first one bar the engine.
Kizza, good to see that mk1 is in good hands. What are the plans for it?
Hopefully my front brakes will arrive shortly. That'll mean the shell can be a roller again and i'll be able to get the final paint coat done and start installing some of the bits i've been collecting.

I've also got two panel shops within walking distance of here. Might get a quote for a final paint job from them.
You are welcome to borrow my trailer anytime you want. I have actually got 2 at the moment, want to buy one?

 Was out in the garage taking pics of various things and took this one. Still in filler coat. More work to do. Anyone chasing some Volvo calipers? I have a few spares.

Plans are bubble arches, bilsteins all round quickrack etc all the usual stuff and put the engine out of my car into it for now. then later on do a mtor conversion. my engine and box are been replaced with something much more fun. just waiting for it to come.

I've been a little distracted lately by my other cars. The Landcruiser has been sold and the Commode has just been serviced. Next step on the project is to get it back on wheels and send it off to get the rollcage installed. So i have to install the crossmember, front struts, roll bar, steering column and wheels then drop it off the dolly. will be interesting to see it on the ground again after a year and a half.

For the first time in over a year it rolls. Got the shell off the dolly yesterday. The front struts, steering column and crossmember are in. Haven't had it outside yet for a photo as it was persisting down yesterday arvo. Still have to bolt up the steering rack and rollbar and fit the handbrake then it's off to get the rollcage fitted.

Looking real good Steve. Good to see it holding up it's own weight. Although I see the new lightweight version does not require the use of brakes! [:u]
Don't leave it out too long, don't want nasty neighbours.
Craig.
