Lol, yea actually now I have sussed out the right length extension, and using a uni joint its “easier” but still a bit like gynaecology.

Thanks, mate, I think so too.  Really starting to actually look like something eventually you could drive.

Floors are in.  Took my time to set the gaps etc as good as I could before welding.  I think I have said it before but I think that’s the secret to good welds.  Even gap, and both sides level.  Also had to remake the area around the bottom of the A-pillar, that wasn’t even close.  Actually quite a zenny job, just bopping away to some tunes out…[Read more]

Yep, measure twice, cut once

Back onto it today.  Would like to get the wheel housing and drivers floor done this weekend, see how I go.  Got the repair done on the wheel housing.  Used the donor part Cooper kindly gave me.  Was actually in pretty good condition, just had some rust on the bottom so made up a repair, turned out pretty neat.  Then tacked it in place with tek…[Read more]

^Thats the new Corvette? I like that!!

Just take a good look at the passenger side where the spare sits. I didn’t and it’s a touch closer to the tyre that the drivers side. Slight love tap with a mallet fixes it though.

I didn’t do the loom in mine and wish I did. Bugs the shit out of me knowing there is redundant wires in there the guy just taped over. Slow and steady wins the race mate!!

Whats is your plans with the lights etc, just fitting the standards back in or some sort of dummy panel?

Does this help?

Hi mate, trouble is there are so many variations of what we have done, to my knowledge none of us on here have gone 6L80, although if I was doing mine again I probably would have (mines a built glide).  I usually don’t like saying stuff I can’t back up, but I believe the 4l80e, is pretty much a 400, with overdrive, so longer.  The tunnel is q…[Read more]
