Ive yet to collect the BFG's yet as I have to find time to arrange a courier and having trouble deciding what rims to mount these on.
would really love to find 17" mach 5's lol, choice is either black mods or predator alloys, not too keen on the latter so shall have to see what turns up. Progress has stalled a touch as Im still waiting for the NAS cage to be made and installed. I appear to have stolen the mach 5's and 265 KM2's off it and whacked em on the DCPU  2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Think I better update this
not such a good update as the garage rolled 90 out to dry and got hit by a hail storm on its soft paint so its been flatted back, this was 3 months ago and still looks the same I am losing patience so I am collecting it next week and paying someone else to do it as hes had it 12 months and progress has been far too slow or nothing at all. I will be looking for someone else to make a NAS cage and finish the paint work off :angry: I just hope he gives me back the money for the uncompleted works like the roll cage and bulkhead removal bar which has not been started at all  2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Not sure if it helps with the NAS cage but a mate just used this company for soft top hoops http://www.purelymetal.co.uk/custom-automotive-parts.htm . Wrong side of the country but might be worth a look.
Can't wait to see it finished!

Have you spoken to Whitbread- he must be able to bend up any cage you want.
If not, don't P+P still make the NAS spec cages used on the 50th's? |

Back in different body shop as I wasn't happy with the monkey paint job by the last crowd, a blind man could have painted better lol
having doors rebuilt to as new as its cheaper than buying new ones lol you can see the crap prep by the previous bodyshop Going to be flawless when painted as the bodyshop I use has a excellent reputation. interior will be bedlinered, once its back from paint its off to have a NAS cage and mohair hood fitted then its done and will be advertised on here and eBay Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) 2015 Discovery 4.5 Black pack Firenze red XS 2008 Corris Grey 110 XS USW (sold) 2011 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold) |
