The shell is on a ratchet strap at the front and axle stand at the rear,

We d just lowered it to have a wee look, and we are loving it !

I can decide how low i want it laughing

Need some of those inner wing repair panels to sit the wings on,
Just hunting now but cant find any ?

I cant find any in the uk, may have to get some from the fatherland, but that will slow things down a bit, seen as we are on a roll big grin

Anyone have any i need some yesterday ?

Cheers

Rocking horse poo like all panels.

Just the outer repair panels.

Inner wings are a different storey.

Missed a left side inner wing yesterday because the seller refused to post it. He lived in the very south east corner of Germany. No chance I was going to do a 14 hour round trip for one panel.

No mate just that top repair section when your wing mounts have disintegrated,

Its a case of cutting it to suit the toyota inner wing, and making sure the wing sits in place

How much posted and which side do you have, ill get the other from germany,

Cheers Ash anyway, but i still need those parts we talked about,

Im just using these from my 5 door gte for the time being.

More photos later today !

Mines the nearside.

Just offered the wings up and its not too far away, i thought the gap would be a lot bigger, so id be throwing about 90% of the panel away

I can get away with making it, as its just a small angle needed now,

Cheers for that though anyway deadeye,

i definitely now need a drivers side rear arch as mine isnt fitted as good as id like, and also the 2x left right outriggers from the a post.

A couple of photos from today, we were thinking we could sit the shell lower, and decide our ride height using standard suspension.........
but the sills determine where it sits,

So we will lower it with coil overs.

Raising the shell makes life easier for joining the toyota boot floor to the van rear panel, also giving more clearance for the wiper motor issue at the front end.

Just waiting to get some panels now, but we will be doing as much as we can with what we ve got.

Will put some more pictures as we go.
