Ok mate best of luck keep me posted on the build,
Chassis all built up now and just finished off the sides mounted the nose rear wings and rear panel ,all will have to come off again for spraying got some very interesting bonnet fasteners which we use on aircraft to attach composite panels .should look nice and flush all checker floor panels are in .will fit the fuel line tomorrow and the tank and a few body bits time permitting ,sorry to waffle on . happy new year hope to see you at some of the shows with your car .

Nice one cnt wait to see the finished car!
I have a book built chassis... and then bought my BMW for a donor and have decided to keep the independant suspension so need to re design the rear end and also planning completly different body shaping to make it all the more unique

Buy some from MK? they make pinto ones as standard.. You will know they fit then.

Hi Dan , thanks for the advise and its the correct one as i would love to give my custom to mk .
However they don't make it easy no mail order c, cards or pay pal and work sop is stuck middle of no ware. And need the mounts soon .

Suspect the person you are looking for may be Matt from old Luego? Cant remember what he trades under , he is likely to be on holiday until after the new year. If it is him his welding is first class.
