Got them in the end!! Problems with the courier people.It only took 4 1/2 months to deliver them.!!! :lol: I'd love to show the car to everyone but in its present state it would'nt do it justice.Its still being fabricated so is quite a mess atm.Patience is key to perfection. :lol: :lol: Rose jointed rear link bars and panhard rod next so i can fit the rear beam with disc conversion on. :D
