MicsManta Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 looks like you have made good progress, can't be long until the it will be all painted and finnished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksdevil Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I just can't stop looking at it. The way you've fitted that kit is superb, sure I've said that before, but it really does look a damn good job. Wish I had the enthusiasm like I used to, so I could put a 400R together...but It's long gone unfortunately. Keep up the great work for when you sell it to me, cheers In all seriousness, great work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTAMAN Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 At the moment, until the forum update comes on-stream you have to host them in a site like Photobucket then link them to your thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novasportc550 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Is she painted yet ??? Was talking to big Ron about her !!! It's been at the painters the past 5 weeks, just waiting on a phone call. Was hoping to get her to billing this year but she won't make it now, plus I haven't been well for the past few months, off sick from work the last 5 weeks as well. I can't even drive at the moment ffs.. When I get her back I will get her sorted so she will be ready for next year. Who's Ron by the way lol..

JeffShaw Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yes mate, but wont be at it for a while. My son was in a car accident and the two of us are going to do it up so need to wait until he is on his feet again.

Novasportc550 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Billing all booked for me, thought I wasn't going to get at one point as I am not aloud to drive at the moment, but some friends helped to make it possible.. Me and the wife are flying over sat 11th and being collected by friends at the airport. Should be at billing for 11am on.. Will be calling round to the Omoc stand to check out all your cars and maybe put a few faces to names.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novasportc550 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Manta back home today and wheels bolted on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksdevil Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Can't wait to see the rear arches bolted up! Oh btw, is it worth spraying some clear Waxoyl over the seam where you've welded/tubbed before fitting the rear arches?
