Hi Guys
Thought I would post a couple of pic's of my build so far.
Started it at the end of March, so don't think I'm doing too bad.
You may think my build sequence is a bit strange, Reason is a lot of my parts are still stuck in the UK.
I can't persuade SWMBO to bring the nosecone or panels on the train when she visits 
Couple of questions for you's
Approx height of seat squab from the floor
(She wont bring those either)
Am I right in thinking 195/50/15 front
205/50/15 rear are the right size tyres
would 55's be OK? seem easier to get.
Also, anyone got a Sierra steering wheel boss they don't want?

No.
185/60x13 tyres are the correct size.
205/60x13s on the rear if you must, but it won't drive half as nice.

LOL...it's taken me 2 years to get to that stage
I would agree with Zil on the wheel and tyre sizes (tongue in cheek or not ) but it's lookin good, top job
Cheers
