[WABIT]

after 3 months sitting and not having any progress, i had the urge to take the covers off the car and pull it away from the corner of the house!

this is what you have!

so, you gonna widen them spacesavers dom? :drinkbeer:

[WABIT]

nah i only needed them for the tyres i was going to stretch over some 14x6's lol

[Mrk_Mickey]

Woah I didn't know it was getting such a nice engine...I wished I lived in Mexico sometimes, I can never get stuck into projects like you guys always seem to do!:(

[Manaz]

I wanna see them chewed up in about 2 seconds flat once the engine's running. Fronts through wheelspin, rears by sliding.

On a racetrack, naturally (can't have you doing it on a public road)! :)

[Volksee77]

geez dom thats real depressing seeing your wabit looking like that. Take a couple of days off mate and get stuck into her, once the bug bites you'll have it done in no time

[Jace]

How do cabs have a hatch/boot? This only just occurred to me!
Awesome project man, can't wait to see this hit the road.
