Interesting Roger. Thumbs Up

The wheels are looking great. I noticed they are alloy, it was the Challenger steels that had the irregular looking offset of -25, the non uniform spokes and poor finish. The alloys you have fitted have an offset of 10 which may make them better in appearance and stance than the steels I have seen.

The windows too are of interest. Are they strutted and how far can they open? Coming along nicely! Thumbs Up If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Lovely!

The OEW works really well mate. Great decision!

Have you had the chassis treated yet? (I need to find someone near Hertfordshire to treat 'Huey' when he arrives!)

Thanks Pete, I have not had the undercarriage treated yet - she is scheduled to go down to Zag, in Billingshurst, early next week... Thumbs Up

So Nice, oow so nice Rog

Awesome build mate. Looking forward to more pics Thumbs Up

Thanks a lot Steve, very pleased you like sir, and of course there will be more to come... Wink

I know Chris (Zagato) always get's highly recommended on this forum for his rustproofing but it is with good reason, he does a fantastic job and is really helpful and very good value.

He's based just outside Billingshurst in West Sussex which should be within a couple of hours drive from Hertfordshire, it's certainly worth having a chat with him.

Spot on with this response, thank you Paul, saves me singing Zag's praises again... Whistle

Thank you Stu, that is a compliment indeed... Bow down

The 110 Keswick Special is starting to come together with a wheel on the back and a wheel up front today... Wink

Up front, complete with protective wrap at my request, which will remain in place until I take possession next week... Whistle

I finally understand what the offset is all about... Whistle

Hopefully these will put right all the negative aspects of the steel versions of the same name... Mr. Green

The windows are, indeed, gas strutted each side and open just above the horizontal... Cool
