I like the wheels, Jonesy, but the coppers won't like the drop pipes (been booked for that myself)!

[jonesy]

hahahha very true just had them made like that until i had diff in and on the road they will be routed out the back, i have dumps on my vk and dont like them.. they blow up too much shit and make a mess

[claysummers]

There were a set of those wheels for sale on gumtree last I looked. Gone now.

Awesome looking hatch you have there, it’s the first time I’ve seen this thread so may have to have a look back at the early stages, I’m just starting one after 17 years of owning it so these pictures get me excited. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Headlight adjuster in wrong hole?

[jonesy]

you are right, had a new kit on order as the plastic inserts are cracked on the originals then i worked out it was the wrong hole when i fitted the spring

cheers
