Awesome Ben

Seeing the angle grinder on the back of the trailer before you even have it the shed is a bit of a worry man.
Couldn't wait till you had the thing on the ground?
Didn't fit on the trailer?
"I don't need that bit"?
:D

Nice that there is another drag bug on the go


matberry - August 27th, 2012 at 12:54 PM

I agree Stanley, just stirring the pot a little. I'm keen to see what Morgan cooks up.


Stanley - August 27th, 2012 at 07:29 PM

All good Mat

So give us a teaser Ben. What are the plans....mild or wild


whathaveidone - August 27th, 2012 at 07:54 PM

Still getting parts list together. Morgs has a budget to stick to and a bit of a plan. Something like mine with a raised rearend and a bigger motor. One thing he has decided on is the colour,but you'll have to wait for that!!!!!!!!!!


humpty - August 27th, 2012 at 11:47 PM

I know, I know what's going in the back...... But the secret is safe..... You guys are just gonna have to wait.


matberry - August 28th, 2012 at 09:46 AM

whathaveidone - August 28th, 2012 at 04:18 PM

All rust repairs done time to start the fun stuff, front beam is going up 100mm in 100mm forward 25mm back 6 degrees and will be held in place with the cage the pan bulkhead will be heading to the scrap bin, for more room and less weight.
The rear torsion housing is going up 100mm and in 150mm.


humpty - October 14th, 2012 at 07:37 PM
