A car engineered to this standard shouldn't have a problem. It is certainly doable.

I know, my point was in the US you can take a car, chop it apart and go drive it which you can't in the UK.

Anyway, back on topic.

I am fortunate to be able to be as creative as I want, thankfully. Where I am in the US there's absolutely no kind of inspection since it is already titled. I just have to pay my money and get on the road (if that ever happens)! I have been slaving away doing dirty work but I have some updates coming soon.

Can someone tell me why I cannot see any picture in this thread?
It works with all other threads...
Help is very much appreciated!

Thanks, Axel

Just a guess Axel - can you see pictures in another browser?

Did you try updating your flash extension? I am using imgur to host the photos, are you having problems seeing other images hosted on that site?

I made some progress a while back but neglected to post. This was tedious work but it had to be done. I decided to add some gussets from the rear frame crossmember that would tie in to the strut tower area/frame rails.

Next I prepped the whole floor, top and bottom to remove any paint, surface rust, and factory undercoating.

Next up I AM starting on the body buck. But this project is taking a back seat for a few more months while I finish an engine swap/refresh in another car I have.

amazing work

It has been quite some time since I updated. I have been working on translating a 3d model into a real physical structure and all is going well so far.

I ended up shortening the sides approximately 2" for the wheelbase to match the body as well as massaging the rear quarters to look closer to photos.* Visually it looks correct after a quick photoshop job too.* I have to just assume the 3d model I have been working with*was a tad out of scale.* Unfortunately*the 3d printed parts are quite fragile and I need to reinforce the insides before I crack any more pieces off...* After that I can begin hard mounting everything on the chassis.* The plan is to have it all be bolt on*for ease of removal as needed for working on specific sections.*

Good luck, Paul. :)
