update : been working on the subframes, start at the bottom & work up
Stripped the subframes down, they were is great condition. Cleaned, degreece'd them and a good rub down, then a new coat of paint. The front subframe is now ready for rebuild. Trial fitted the rear bumper (ed, I like it, much prefer it to standard & the veilside one) Getting ready to fit rear & quarter windows. All the door rubbers & trim is now fitted. It is now underway! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is so much left to do! |

i have just got mine total stripped today only stuff to come out is windows and i looked at it and thought O SHIT when i looked at it as there is so much work to do never mind the extra work you have had with shell etc.
so i can fully appreciate your thoughts, but as you say as soon as wheels go on etc will start looking like things are coming together. i can see it being one of those senarios where it looks like things arent coming to gether and it feels like forever than all of a sudden it will be almost there and the excitement will kick in a full tilt. is looking good, looking forward to seeing it roll. good luck dude

Thanks Guys!
Ok update. We have been really busy and unable to proceed with the car over the last 2 weeks. I have finished both sub frames and fitted those, the flat floor is now cut and all fitted, everything is here & ready to go. We are closing the workshop doors for 1 week combine that with a few 10 o’clock finishes and it should have DCWIDE running. Here are a few more pics, I will get some more tomorrow. bling'ed up the rear diff slightly ![]() One sand blasted "light weight" sub frame ![]() Front sub frame fitted, I like the clean, new look ![]() That’s what I have got under there ![]() Work of art ![]() I still need to take the wheels and tyres to have them fitted, I should have the car sat on them soon trial fitted (looking forward to that) New Looms are built and ready to be fitted, so the light is getting closer |
