Evening ladies!

 

Made a bit of progress today!

 

Picked the car back up last night !

 

And my new subframe and arms turned up at work yesterday!

 

So i set about removing the old, which was a piece of piss apart from snapping a bolt lol!

 

Out.

Old off with new frame and arms

Then decided it was a bit to dirty for my liking so got the power tools and elbow grease on the go!

Well chuffed! Was guna have it powdercoated, but i think i'm just guna paint it black with hammerite!

 

Then i had to slot the servo and front panel on for a nose!

more space in a 205 for a decent length tract on a TU engine?

 

 

might be an idea to re-size those images BTW, they are HUUUUUUUGE!!!!

The problem is in the file size, not image size - please re-read the Rules & Guidelines.
