Can't you mix the wheels using the large back ones and the narrow front? I love all the bodywork you did

PINK!!!!!!! You lot are ferkin` mad Thanks for all the great comments fella.............very much appreciated Righto this might not look like much but it was for me , the eagle eyed amongst ya will spot the change at the front end..............in fact..........a major change, If you look at the first pic you`ll see the rad cover/grill is the old one and the second pic shows the replacement!! The reason behind this was..............the original frame was broken on both sides of the chassis rail when i first built this, the break was just behind the rad cover and was my own fault. During this modification job i`ve managed to snap it twice (maybe three!!!) times now and decided enough is enough, thats why the rad cover chop looks shite.................so using a donor kit i cut the old front end off and grafted on a new one from the donor............this included headlights and steering (the engine is just a mock up one for sizing everything up btw). A risky challenge coz i needed to make sure everything was square......or else that would have been game over!!! The white areas on both sides of the front rails is where the join is/was........ And how she looks now............the basic ride height, stance etc are just about done now..............now it`s time to piece together the remaining parts of the jigsaw I`ll be keeping that style of exhaust bit not the ends, got somink else planned for the final end pieces but i need the four downpipes Thanks fellas....
