Ironically I didn't buy the car because I liked it. I bought it because I could see the potential in it after a SERIOUS amount of work! Building a truly unique car is the goal. These cars are rare in the UK, so a modified one will be, well, like finding a unicorn!!Originally posted by miamibob View Post
Serious work but really enjoyable.

Right, got to get on with this.
All springs out
and car lowered to its bump stops
Nylon rope stretched across the bottom of the tyres to see how far the floorpan has to go up into the car
Looks like its 10 cm then!
Which takes the floor up to the 10 cm mark here.
I'll level the car up next, then brace it and its floor cutting time!

Just to let you all know that my lovely Dad passed away this morning in hospital. Age 88. May he rest in peace and he will always be in my thoughts.
I am going to dedicate this car and its build to my wonderful Dad.

My prayers to you and your family. Lost my Dad last April at 90. Hospital screwed up or he'd still be here (but that is another story). Dedicating the car to Dad is a great idea!! BobbyOriginally posted by andyfanshawe View Post

Keep strong Andy. I hope all goes well and your father's memory only helps you to make the car that much better.
