But here's what's been done recently Drivers floor pan done Shitty battery tray repair but fixed now Got new wheels for it needing a refurb though Passenger side wheel arch done Gearbox tunnel done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nailen666 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Well been a stressful few months garage got broken into and my 2 motocross bike were taken. Got them back but there's 2 boys who won't walk never mind go a bike for a while. Then I blew the nova engine again so been converting it for an xe. But also made good progress on the cavy she's all welded and primed now 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiney_norman Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Got them back but there's 2 boys who won't walk never mind go a bike for a while. As much as this made me smile, might not be the best thing to post on a public forum, just in case there are ever any legal repercussions... Good to see the car coming along though!
