well that worked , needed to see if i could actually upload photos , the idiots guide worked just fine , starting a build thread , inspired by some of the work on show here , progress is likely to be slow as im only doing weekends due to the lockup being a 50+ mile round trip , this is how she was day 1 , 80k auto drove her back from wincanton , sweet as a nut .

so this is my 4th weekend on the car, underbonnet all stitched , boot all flat plated and the pockets in the corners , all brackets inside the car spot drilled out , crush holes welded up , all sealer done , rear arches all tubed ready for the bodykit, hopefully kit and cage will make an apearence soon as my origina l order got " misplaced " is the excuse , so im 3 weeks into my new order , so tomorrow is cut out the doors , mount the h/h/b plate on the tunnel , measure up the beam and get some solid caps turned down ready .....

Let me know how you get on with the sump guard, the last Hockley one I saw didn't fit too well

Just by chance Pete do you make/supply sump guards for E36 Compact? If so I would be interested in one for mine.

Cheers.
