New rear shock mounts

On Thursday I drove down to the workshops of Wayne Allman (Interglactic custom shop) to pick up the floorpan with its new rear shock mounts! Due to the IRS conversion and us wanting to run the car really low, the A Arms caught on the old shock towers. This was Waynes solution!

The floorpan has already been took to the powder coaters near us in Lincoln so that should be back next weekend ready for a mammouth session getting it built!

Paintshop update

Well I popped up today to Curbishley Automotive in Chesterfield and I'm really pleased with the results! The doors, wings, decklid, rear valence and bonnet are in colour and they look fantastic! They still haven't been polished so these pictures are of the paint straight from the gun! Martin has now started to paint the exterior on the body and we're looking good for an early completion!

Last weekend the floorpan was delivered to Wayne Allman at the Intergalactic Custom Shop for the fabrication of the new shock towers and welding in of my mid mount. That should be due back hopefully sometime next week!

Thanks to Derek of Absolutely Shocks LTD I ordered a pair of Gaz Gold Pro coilovers, after talking to Derek at the autosport show at the weekend on the GAZ shocks stand I was impressed with the kit and decided to order a pair. We got a great deal on them so if anyone is after any shocks see these guys! info@absolutelyshocks.com
