see I told ya the s/steel rack is the duck's nuts. did you put clear vinyl hose on the feet to stop the paint being marked. to lock that sucker on you need a two 3" x 5/16 socket cap set screws and drill a hole through them and fit 2 x locks.
Problem: I got probed by Aliens last night...............and I think I like it!.........E.T call ME.

damo came over today and helped me get it running, feels good to hear the motor dak again.
now i just need to finish painting, get the spounge out of the brakes, find indicators for front bumper and fit it, bit of re chroming, replace the main engine seal (small drips that road worthy people will pick on me for), find rubbers for over riders, secure the removable rear skirt and that should be enough to have it on the road. then ill be putting ford lazer seats in front, bubble smoothie hub caps, solid visor, spats on the back

That is going to be one sweet looking ride! I'm impressed at how good the paint job is using spray cans, it's given me hope that I can do similar.:thumb
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

good idea chris, :beer i just had a look, could be done but will be a pain getting behind it. i will probably try and see how far i can rub the bog back first. but if that fails ill get a nut and bolt type trim attachment and get someone with little fingers to give me a hand
