Thanks Olli.....

Had a bit of help from forum members with this one....

Thanks to Mez for the seat, Olli for most of the S10 front end bits & the oil cooler, jibber (who didn't charge me anything, I owe you one mate :thumb: ) for the right sidepanel & clock brackets

Also thanks to Itchywheels for the tip off for the brand new rear carrier which I got from Italy.... but not for the clutch cable
which I bought off him on eBay.... cheap copy, doesn't fit .....


Now, what's next........ I might do a 3AJ with a white frame.............. :rtfi:

Thanks mate


Nobody spotted the deliberate mistake, :banghead:

I forgot to have the lower part of the r/h sidepanel painted black to match the other side....... :headslap:

It's done now though :evil:
