Fair play for taking on this, nice to see it on the jig and all being done properly. Will keep an eye on this. I like the olive green colour on some of the previous pics you posted (don't know the name of the colour) lol



Thanks.

It has to be done right.

The whole things not twisted I just want it 100% right.

The greens are nice.

I don't think he's counted hours but maybe three days.

The chassis legs too the impact and it didn't travel any further back. It went on the jig just to make sure.

That's a given that that's going, also the spare wheel well has had about four sections put in all badly I might add too.

If the last hope shop can't get me a full boot floor panel I'll be custom making a boot floor with a sunken section in for battery etc.

Normally the same cost as the part or more.

I found some wheels I really liked but the prices actually doubled by the time I got them back.
