That has to be one of the neatest undersides of any FB or EK around!! 8) (except maybe Gaz's?) :wink:
Wish I could accomplish something so finished and neat after only two weeks!! :oops:
Great work Rusty and congrat's on getting the nod of the engineer too. :mrgreen:
..watching with great interest...

Thanks John , how is your car coming along at the body works?

Sputz , thanks for that , hope I can get the topside to match now :lol:

Was a long two weeks , put a few hours into it , and I would be happy if I could paint and draw something as cool as you do in two years 8) :lol:

Am happy about the engineering side too , one less thing to worry about .

Seam sealed all the joints last night in the floor and then on the weekend will start the bodywork .
