Finished the second side of the tilt front end :D and also had a nice break for the rear bumper found that the brackets on the frame were in easy reach for my plastic bolts to reach so no need for any fab work :) :) :)
left my camera at work but will post some updates soon :)

well not such a great day
Had the neutral safety switch short out when I went to fire her up :cry:
then found I will need a press to get the new springs on my shocks as they are longer than the previous ones :( :( ,its also been raining all day so could not do any fibreglass work :x :x
and found my own personnal weight loss program took a dive and gained an extra 1# :x :oops: :x :oops: :x :oops:
so now i cant even face having a beer to cheer myself up,
oh the trials and tribulations :lol: :P :lol: :P :P
hope you all had a better day
Royz :) :) :) :)

I sprayed on two beautifull coats of electric red on my battery box so its really noticeable when you go to the trunk (in case of emergency) walked away for a minute came back to find a couple of flies draggin :lol: their way through a rapidly drying second coat my question now is do i sand them and the top layer off or clear coat the whole lot including flies as a reminder that you can always find something to smile/grimace at :lol: :x :shock: :lol: :x :shock:
