Hello Matt, I reconise those photo's. Its looking very good mate, your blitzing through it. Did you say you rebuilt the axles or just cleaned them up and re-paited?

An arm & a leg + 3 toes off the other foot :lol:

Just over 1k

Looking good tho, think you did it in good time to.
Had mine for a few weeks now but havnt had time to start it yet; SWMBO keeps finding things that " must be done before you start the chassis swap" :roll:
