Before anyone asks tanks will be re pressure tested and approved.
Is That tank been certified  ??? ??? ??? ???......had to ask ........FC427......
As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

They dont come stamped or approved as far as i can see.
But being in the mining industry my mate has a friend who certifies pressure vessels so i wanted them done as the kids will be in the car..

Thats why they are in the quarters and not behind the seat.

Thinking of wrapping all the boot in red vinyl and black like the interior ?
Stinky can the vinyl be glued in so that the beads are still sorta visible ? i guess they could spray glue it down and use a roller to make them more defined..

Ordered some cool clips today

deuz Fastners to hold the rear sheetmetal panels into the car so i can quick release them..

Hi all

Half a day on the fc feel like shit came home and my brakes are here.

Should be big enough 330mm on the front and 315mm on the rear.

Somehow dont think that 13 inch rim would fit over it.

Only a small update.
I finished the Rear cover panels all installed with duez fastners just have to put beads into them.
Battery box all drawn up just have to cut out.
And the front end is all drawn up watch this space is going to be wild.
All brakes assembled beutiful on the lowered stubs.
Big thanks to fatboy for supplying them.
I really like the wheels hopefully it looks how i want it too.

Done


I might fit a hinge to the top yet was really tight for room so i did the lip thing.

The covers meant to flow like the boot panel ..

Looking Good Pete. Engineers wanted breather pipe to take gases away on my vehicle. Just in case you have to modify its better now mate. Brett
